Scott Emge attended the meeting Sandra Clark told us about on Monday. Scott has this report of his conversation with Commissioners Moore and Smith. Scott says Amy Broyles and Elaine Davis were also there.
And don't forget the candidate's forum organized by Commissioner Mark Harmon, scheduled for this coming Monday. Details here.
Just a thought, but it seems that anyone wanting to be appointed as a replacement ought to show up at every opportunity to meet with the public in an open forum, and anyone who shows up should get preference over KnoxGOB back-room nominees.
