Last week and this week Knoxnews columnist Victor Ashe has been on a Matlock bashing tirade, we thought he only saved that type of trashing for the lady Knoxville Mayor Rogero. Let’s remember that Ashe and his wife hosted a fundraiser at their Kingston Pike home for Matlock’s opponent and have contributed heavily to Matlock’s opponent.
This weeks column, it seems that Ashe has been reading that journal I had heard State Rep. Jason Zachary maintained on votes that Matlock missed the last couple of years. It is interesting that Knoxnews and Editor Jack McElroy knowing that Ashe has contributed to and held a fundraiser for Matlock’s opponent are allowing him to write about the race. A few years ago, a source in the Big Metal Shed on the Hill said that a political writer was not allowed to write about Stacey Campfield because of the support given to a Campfield opponent not of the writers but someone closely associated to the writer.
While we are traveling down memory lane, when will Ashe disclose and write about that court ordered civil rights violation of multiple fire fighters that was ruled against him? If Jimmy Matock’s opponent has to resort to using someone that broke the law and violated the civil rights of civil employees that risk their own life and limb for the safety of others, you really are the definition of career politician. Just Saying.
