My buddy Joshua Anderson and I observed the Blount County Commission Meeting to select the next State Senator.
Georgiana Vines of the Knoxville News Sentinel was in the room.

The other half of the Blount County Commission
Blount Commissioner Tona Monroe nominated Scott Williams and spoke to her support of him. She said that she had communicated through letters extensively with State Rep. Art Swann and he has never responded.
Swann was elected with 17 votes, Williams received 3 and 4 Commissioners were absent. Judge Doug Dutton administers the oath as Blount County Mayor Ed Mitchell watches.
