Last week, the Knoxville News Sentinel owned Shopper publication in the gossip and lies column noted that Jim Weaver should reveal if he intends to keep Phil Ballard on staff if he wins. While it is suspected that current PA employees Ballard, Linda Turner and Rodney Lane would all have aspirations to be Chief Deputy, we speculate their is another potential candidate.
A week ago, this past Monday, this person attended the Volunteer Republican Women’s lunch and the West Knox Republican Club that evening. A source gave me an unconfirmed report that this individual recently passed through the Assessor’s office and remarked to an employee, I had to go protect your job, as a reason they attended a club meeting. This past Monday the same person attended the Halls Republican Club. All the while the person has been absent from the scene for well over a year, the individual is former County Commissioner Robert Lawrence Smith.
Phil Ballard, The Property Assessor is a former County Commissioner that hired former Commissioner Craig Luethold, then Leuthold was appointed by Commission as the interim Trustee and when the county voters rejected him as Truatee, he immediately returned to the Assessor’s office. The Property Assessor’s Office is a resting place for former Commission cronies, so another one on the payroll ain’t a big deal. Right?

Well I told you folks, that has been doesn’t do anything unless it comes with a greased palm! You see this weasel anywhere he thinks he can pedal a policy or pick up a few coins here and there. This is just one more reason to stay clear of Little Daddy W, he is lurking and plotting to put the screws to you.
Let’s face it folks commission is one less person better off minus the old rascal. Now he wants to get in on the deceit of second floor playhouse, if not for a chief, then a cushy salary and rake in the dough. There isn’t a job in that office that requires the use of a mower nor a ribbon cutting. That would be his only credentials to place on his application. Short of a washed up politician and a landlord.
If Little Daddy W’s choice is the weasel then look out, this transplant and his cronies are rounding up the troops to slaughter your pocket books.
Be seen, be heard, then slip right in the payroll like a slimy turd. Yeah face its folks the Aamco “beep beep you been screwed” is lurking the playhouse.
The cash clearing house rakes in the coin in many ways, cash talks and bull shit walks. This plot thickens like stale molasses. Sweet, sticky and down right disgusting. This pack of trash needs to go once and for all.
It’s early I’ve not had my morning coffee and to an old fart like me that’s lack of stimulation.
Brother cooked cabbage has a smell identical to this whole situation. Rotten and evil to the core with ties to the lowest depths of trash. If you vote for Little Daddy W someone ort to bust your ass.
This is as clear as that old lake out there at the end of the line, the bottom liner is full of shit, just like Little Daddy W and his hand picked turds.
Yes, while attending the Volunteer Women’s meeting after Mr.Smith asked all of the candidates reiderate all of their awards and education. And I might add I would MUCH rather a licensed real estate professional appraise my property opposed to someone that has a lot of certifications obtained by weekly classes taught by your buddy’s. Larry also approached my mother and told her he barely recognized me. Funny… He used to have no problem finding his way to my office every other day asking me to lunch! (which I ALWAYS declined) He needs to be shut down and this is just one more reason I am supporting Graybeal. Not for a position (wouldn’t go back to that building if I had to) but because he knows how to do his job and he knows how to fix the office.
Now that I have had my coffee and cleaned out the pipes what the hell? The way I see it that good for nothing former has been owns a few buildings that he needs help with. Once he left commission he found out he was good for nothing, he had no power and rode off to the hills. Knoxville is in the tank and no one want to build or open a business as that sorry commission ran our future off. If I find out that weasel gets one break I will be on his ass like white on rice. If one employee is terminated you will see a blow torch held to the weasel and Little Daddy W’s ass. That sorry butter and egg mans temper is no match for a retired long shore man. We are no match for the weak and weary, I just say what’s right and don’t care who I offend. If your offended by the truth then move the hell out of town. We will not miss you and the mail can be forwarded to you.
