Dean Rice Quickly Gavels Meeting to Adjourn, Sort Of

Last week, Republican Knox County Mayor Candidate Tim Burchett was set to speak at the West Knox Kiwanis club meeting. Due to a family conflict he was represented by campaign staffer Dean Rice. Multiple Kiwanis sources indicate that Northside Kiwanis member Walter Wojnar was the first to ask a question. His question to Rice was if it were true that he would become County Mayor Burchett’s Chief of Staff. Rice immediately grabbed the gavel to adjourn the meeting.
