to attend our KCDP First Friday event AND reviewed with us the County Mayor's 'budget' in detail...He explained his positions, both for and against, the major items,the cuts to important programs, and gave an in-depth description of some items that have not been addressed. He and his wife Gwen were a welcome addition to our First Friday celebration. He is the epitomy of how an elected representative of the people should serve. Thanks, Sam and Gwen, for taking your time to visit with us. District 1 is fortunate to have your experienced leadership working for all of Knox County on our County Commission.
