Is it an Ethics Question?

Jim Weaver, candidate for Knox County Property Assessor next year and the right hand of current Property Assessor Phil Ballard has a campaign. Next week the campaign will have a fundraiser at Calhouns.

I had not really thought about who Weaver’s treasurer was until I realized that Archie Johnson (who is the appointed Treasurer and the Treasurer that has already filed one financial disclosure this month) it could be the same Archie Johnson that serves on the Board of Equalization. I have been told Mr. Johnson is the Chair of the Board of Equalization.

The Board of Equalization is the group of citizens that listens to your appeal of the appraised assessment of your property when you disagree with the Assessor.

Is it right for the person that presides on those matters also be the campaign bag man for financial contributors and contributions?

    Well isn’t this just a humdinger, I bet the IRS bell just went into overtime. You see people this is what you call a candidate with no morals. This stooge is cut from the same wicked cloth as his boss. If the developers don’t see this then they need to hang up their license and start a new profession. I’ve met Weaver a couple of times and this man has no personality and by this choice just as crooked as the old butter and egg man himself.

    Why is it that once these people get elected they can’t turn loose? I have a clear reason for you… They do not want anyone outside the circle of deceit to find out just what occurs in the office with appraisals. I will use a previous trustee for example, after a few weeks the fiefdom crumbled. Whomever get this office is sure to find that this deck of cards has been stacked very well.

    There is no ethics to this office as it is nothing short of a playhouse, ran by the biggest pervert that ever sat on the pew of Lyons Creek. Strike a deal and roll the dice, lucky 7’s are not in the stars for this election.

    Watch the payroll increase in the next few months as employees politically connected will reign on the second floor. It’s happens every time just like clockwork. Flood the town with signs, plaster the name on that funny paper of fountain city, and look at the mimicking of the clock winder and the butter and egg man’s campaign. It’s as predictable as prune juice after a bowl of raisin brand cereal. One false move and you have one shitty mess.

    I’ve been out of the loop since the stroke and the bypass, but one thing is certain this old fart is hitting on all cylinders. The blowtorch is full of fire and I am just itching to light someone’s ass up thru the winter and spring. Elmer is wise, honest and down right critical to devious behavior. I certainly don’t use Facebook to vent and any similarities are just a copy cat. There is only one Elmer in this town, the Lord knows this town could not handle two of me.
