(Brian Paone was kind enough to share the link below to 51 campaign finance disclosures he's posted at Political Knoxville, but it was buried in the conversation on the thread for 6th District disclosures. This deserves a spot of acclaim! Thanks, Brian!)
51 Campaign Finance Disclosures available free of charge!
Submitted by B. Paone (not verified) on Fri, 2008/02/01 - 12:48am.
Sorry - I forgot what my login was for this joint. Forgive the unverified name!
Anyway, Political Knoxville has posted 51 campaign finance disclosure forms for this year's primary, as well as four bonus CFDs of interest: County Mayor Mike Ragsdale, Cindy Buttry, Billy Tindell, and the Public Trust PAC.
Link...
The remainder are in-house and just need to be scanned. They should be available Friday evening or Saturday afternoon at the latest.
I'll post this comment in one more place and call it a night. Happy reading! :)

That is a lot of work Brian.
That is a lot of work Brian. Nice work.
I have looked thru a few. Some interesting information. Everyone should look them over.
It was definitely a lot of work...
...that I was more than happy to farm out to Kinko's. ;-) The link seems to be busted, though - I'll post a direct link to the article on PK and to the main menu for the candidate profiles. The bonus CFDs (Ragsdale, Buttry, Tindell, Public Trust PAC) are linked from the article, and the candidates' CFDs are linked to their respective profiles.

I really need to remember my login for this place. :-p
Do I understand right?
From your site, do I understand that ~ 16 candidates have not yet
filed CFD reports?????

Not quite, Steve...
Many of them just haven't been scanned in yet. For example, I know I have Broyles, Drew, and Moore. I just haven't scanned those. Also, Tamara has the Sixth District CFDs that I lack. I'll be picking those up today and scanning them in tonight.
As far as the remainder, I was in the middle of end-of-month duties at my "day job", and really only had the time to pick up what was available. The poor people at the Election Commission are so overworked as of late, I really didn't feel like making their life any more difficult than it had to be, so I took what was available and decided to go back for the rest today.
I'll add a clarifying note to the article. Thanks, Steve!
100 pages?
Maybe it's taking Brian hours to scan all the documents for Tramel, Shouse, Cate, Jones, etc. I hope his scanner doesn't burn out.
I heard $41K for Tramel and $30K for Shouse. Mind-boggling.

Just got started, actually...
Today was shopping day, so I'm just now getting into adding what I got from the election commission today.
CFDs to be added this evening (and possibly into the early morning):
Broyles
Drew
Shouse
Tramel
Daniels
Connatser
Anders
Davis
Freed
I will pick up Kathy Bryant's from Tamara tomorrow.
Looks like you were right on

Who is Kelley Williamson? Does she cut hair for Brittney Spears or something?
$1,000 from a dental hygenist?
I understand all the developers, but there's some odd ones in here.

Ragsdale Disclosures
Brian -
You should really go back to the Election Commission and pull Ragsdale's older disclosures. They include some really interesting expenditures, including payents to send Tyler Harber to political campaign training while he was on Knox County's payroll. Further proof that Ragsdale used Harber as his political soldier, and that, in the end, the kid was telling the truth.

Scott Davis for Sisk
And I spotted Scott Davis (Eagle Bend Prop), as well as an awful lot of Trustee employees, on Sisk's CFD.
Who is Mike Alder?
His name shows up in the Expenditures category for a number of old system candidates. I can't seem to find a great deal of information on him, though. Anyone out there care to clue in an ignorant kid?
Doing a little
Doing a little googling....
His name shows up in a Frank Cagle article from last year

A Mike Alder posts as 'SoCalfax' on the knews.com site
A Mike Alder is apparently a Rush Limbaugh fan
(link...)
Mike Alder is a republican
Mike Alder is a republican operative-type who moved to Alabama, or some such place a while back, came back, and has been working some for Moore and Tramel. He was at the Sunshine law trial sucking up to the Scoobie/Lumpy crew every time I attended -- kind of a little guy with gray hair and a rumpled appearance. and his SColfax persona was a pretty nasty troll on this board. Haven't seen him around lately.
Never met Alder, but SColfax rings a bell
I remember SColfax. We had a few brief disagreements. Alder, I don't believe I've met. Still, the guy's making a pretty good sum off of this election. I'll go back and total how much after I'm done with the scanning.
60 profiles now available
Now with clearer access instructions!

Moore financial backroom dealings
Look at Scott Moore's contributors page. If it wasnt bad enough that he funneled $5.5 million to Tim Graham for the Lowe's in Halls at taxpayer expense, he is also taking contributions from Mark Tarver. Tarver is involved with the Home Depot development just down the street from Graham's proposed Lowe's and Tarver now has his hand out for a TIF in the millions. When will theh county taxpayers wake up to the reality of TIF's and what they and our corrupt politicans are doing to our county?
