It just gets better. Let's expand the silliness and vote on each district, not just each office. Maybe we'll end up with a government where County Commission, 9th District, Seat B is term limited, but not 9th District, Seat A. That would be fun, too, and a heck of a compromise, don't you think? Heh.

Oh for the love of Pete!  Knox County voters already voted on this.  Just cause Mike Hammond, Shurf Tim etc. don't like the results isn't any reason for a "do-over."

 Sheesh.

There's no politics like local politics.

Committee member Mike Hammond, a county commissioner, made the suggestion saying people would likely want to vote on each individual office, such as sheriff and mayor.

In 1975 there was a Tennessee Constitutional Amendment that changed the term for Sheriffs in Tennessee from a maximum of three two year terms to unlimited four year terms.

Common sense would indicate that to create term limits for Sheriff it would require another Constitutional Amendment. That was the mistake of the 1994 term limits referendum.

Is it possible that this move by Hammond acknowledges that 1994 mistake?

In the video blurb on Ch. 10 this am, Mr Moyers appeared front and center in yesterday's meeting. Guess he was there to continue his defense of term limits, or maybe the committee needs his drafting expertise.
