Less than 24 hours after learning a Jury handed State Rep. Joe Armstrong a Felony Conviction of a fraudulent tax return. Many names have surfaced to be the replacement nominee (seems like a Big Brother episode, the Power of Veto wasn’t used) In addition to Former State Rep. Gloria Johnson some new names have surfaced, State Rep. Armstrong’s wife, Former City of Knoxville Assistant to the Mayor Jackie Clay, Former County Commission Candidate Rick Staples, Outgoing County Commissioner Sam McKenzie and Knoxville City Councilman Dan Brown. The one name NO ONE has heard is Former School Board Member Sam Anderson.
Disappointed that the state GOP didn’t run a candidate. Should have seen this coming . . .
Ray, I completely agree. If it had happened between 2005-2007 I would have had a candidate and if it had happened between 2009-2013, I know you would have had a candidate.
