The Knox County Federation of Young Republicans met tonight. ‘The Study’ which is the meeting room at Chic-fil-a Homberg on Kingston Pike near Knox Plaza was packed with candidates and a few Young Republicans.
Jason Emert, candidate for State Representative District 13 spoke. Following his brief remarks he responded to a few questions. YR Chair Alex Roehl asked him to confirm that he supported an income tax. After a brief pause he said NO, NO, NO. Most everyone laughed. Except Billy Stokes, former Assistant to Governor Don Sundquist. The last Governor to propose an income tax.
Jason Emert Responding to supporting a State Income Tax, NO, NO, NO
