Public Forums:

So far we are aware of two ad hoc public forums for replacement candidates to meet with the public:

According to the KNS [1], commissioners Leuthold and Hammond are holding an open public forum for 5th District candidates, Saturday Jan. 27th from 10:00 AM to 12 Noon at the Cedar Bluff library branch.

Commissioner Mark Harmon has organized an open public forum scheduled for Monday, January 29th, starting at 6pm in the Fulton High School Auditorium. UPDATE: EVENT MOVED TO WHITTLE SPRINGS MIDDLE SCHOOL AUDITORIUM, 2700 White Oak Lane (the corner of Whittle Springs and White Oak). "Public, candidates, commissioners, and all interested parties are invited." More details here [2].

If you are aware of any other public forums, meetings, discussions, etc., please let us know in comments and we will post updates.

Local TV News:

The KNS, WBIR, and WNOX [3] are hosting a one hour program on WBIR Channel 10 TV At 7 PM Monday, Jan. 29th, to "explain who's in contention and to offer perspective from journalists, public officials and others."

If you are aware of any other local TV broadcasts for discussion of/with replacement candidates, please let us know in comments and we will post updates.

Online:

Online, the Knoxville News Sentinel has this website [4] with a list of persons seeking appointments, including letters and resumes where available.

(KNS writers are posting frequent background/updates at Michael Silence's blog [5].)

WATE has compiled this list of candidates [6].

WBIR has this site [7] with a news archive and candidate lists with letters and resumes. (Thanks, Katie!)

KnoxViews has compiled this list [8]. Please let us know of any updates or additions in comments on that post.

KnoxViews also has this extensive, up to date archive [9] on the controversy.
