I put up a post back before the May 6 Republican Primary that said if Craig Leuthold lost the primary to either Barry Hawkins or Ed Shouse, he will move back down to the Property Assessors office.
Well, today Ed Shouse took over and where did the “whack a mole” Leuthold pop up? Property Assessors office making $55,000 a year as the Public Information Officer. A position that was so essential that since July 2013 the position has been vacant. Cause you know the Property Assessor Phil Ballard a 2007 Black Wednesday a County Commissioner has to take care of his 2007 Black Wednesday County Commissioner pal Craig Leuthold. I think Barry Hawkins trade marked that term back during the Republican Primary for Trustee.
Here’s hoping Ed Shouse will not get swayed by a couple of the current Trustee regime, the two employees that wouldn’t let him out of their sight today. Here’s hoping Ed remembers the ones trying to monopolize his time today, were the ones out at polling places on May 6 and were putting up Leuthold signs and saying all matters of crap about Ed through the winter and spring.
Remember Ed, the citizens of Knox County wants a new approach, don’t surround yourself with the old regime. There are other desks they can go too. Or like Criminal Court Clerk Mike Hammond sometimes 6 or so employees just don’t have the counties best interest at heart.
Well I woke up this morning humming the theme song for Romper Room as I read this story last night before turning in for bed. Does any one remember the Lucy Vitameatavegamin commercial from the 1950’s? It depicts this example of Knox County musical chairs.
Are you tired worn out and useless?
Have you worn more hats than Hetta Hopper?
Are you the looser of elections?
Are you unpopular?
The answer to all these questions is Craig Leuthold…
Great Scott Sister Agnes property assessors office again earning $26.44 an hour?
How many Walmart door greeters does it take to do Craig Leuthold’s job?
Give up… the answer is four and a fifth of gin.
Now the question is where is Knox County’s most known visual affair couple going to be employed today. Of course we will have to wait until the bus docks down at the lot to find out where Knox hangs his shingle today. He has been minding the repairs down at Cedar Bluff as it appears that he felt PBA could not be trusted to perform the duties given. Damn now that sounds just like the washed up Joy McCroskey.
Speaking of the old bag read the paper she drained the account dry and turned over surplus money to the the county, first time since she took office. At least is reminded her of of a good bowel movement it felt great releasing , even though was under false pretenses. Kind of like wiping before you poop. There were so many that wanted to roll her old fat ass to the revolving door, but I was told her cohort Doug assisted in private, so as not to draw attention to there secret society hidden behind closed doors. Resembling Night Court, or as the Clerk Turns.
Hammond I have been told, sat down in the driver’s seat of the bus and addressed the employees yesterday, telling them yesterday was a brand new day. “Wake up and pay attention”, depicts this mans character. I am so proud he has a plan that was installed and will actually work. It sure is amazing what a willing and able clerk can do when you just show up for work prepared. Press conference expected, its great he keeps us informed, no more secrets no more lies, just the truth. Thats what I expected from him.
No down to the shits and giggles of Knox County…
Where in the Sam Hell is Larry Smith? If anyone knows let old Elmer know… I am on this ass clown like white on rice.
Enjoy your day Knox County it seems as if this one is going to be a golly whopper.
Elmer
Who would bring honor to the Assessor position next time round in Knox is the question. Who is qualified and wants to serve Knox the most?
Weems the answer is ….
JASON ZACHARY he has been called to run for property assessor and even think he will remember to vote in that primary if it’s not to confusing
I kept telling Elmer, Craig would have to go back cause Ballard needs to stay on payroll and what else can Craig do. He could not handle a real job and Ballard needs him to try one more time. What will happen when Craigs chief duty and “close” friend Knox W. are unemployed, I guess they can drive the Big Yellow for his wifes company.
