WBIR Knox County Files

If you missed it, be sure to watch the replay Sunday morning (9AM on WBIR [1]).

Frankly, I wasn't expecting much, but this turned out to be one of the best local TV specials on local or any other politics you are likely to see. I'm not sure anything like this has ever been aired before.

Props to Jack McElroy of the KNS for his stand and his remarks. His agenda was clear, and he appears to be a better lawyer than the county's lawyer even though he's not even a lawyer.

The county's lawyer was ill advised to reveal so many details about the County Commission's legal strategy for the upcoming trial (injunctive relief that applies only to individuals v. the commission as a whole, tainted jury pools, media coverage, goofy Moncier plaintiffs joined, etc).

As a result, I'm guessing the KNS/McElroy lawyers are already at work on their counter-strategy, which gets back to the point of "public business conducted in public", as I believe McElroy put it.
