TO
TO ADDRESS THE ISSUES FACING TENNESSEEE INYES TODAY FROM 10
NEWS THIS IS INSIDE TENNESSEEE.
GOOD MORNING AND WELCOME TO
INSIDE TENNESSEEE I'M YOUR
MODERATOR JOHN BECKER WHO ARE
THE POLITICIANS WHO WON THIS
YEAR AND WHO LOST POLITICALLY
SPEAKING. THAT IS OUR TOPIC
THIS MORNING WITH THIS SUPER
PANEL. TWO DEMOCRATS AND TWO
REPUBLICANS. LET'S START ON THE
END THERE DON BOSH IS A LAWYER
WHO RUNS HIS OWN LAW FIRM
HAPPENS TO BE A DEMOCRAT. GOOD
MORNING JOHN. GERWIG FUN SHOW.
YES IT IS. SUSAN RICHARDSON
WILLIAMS IS A REPUBLICAN SHE
RUNS ROANE PR FIRM GOOD MORNING
TOM. WE ACTUALLY HAVE TO WORK.
YES YOU DO YOUR HOMEWORK. DENCH
YOULL WORK. VEHILE STARE BACK
WITH US. A POLITICO LONGTIME IN
THIS STATE WORKED FOR LOTS OF
DIFFERENT FOLKS IN STATE
GOVERNMENT. NICE TO HAVE YOU
BACK. GOOD MORNING. GOOD
MORNING AND CARLSON TO FORMER
SCHOOL BOARD MEMBER ALSO HAS
RUN FOR OFFICE AFTER WELL
YOU'RE A REPUBLICAN AND NICE TO
HAVE YOU WITH US. GOOD MORNING.
ALL RIGHT. THIS IS ALWAYS A FUN
ONE AS DON MENTIONED AND WE'RE
GOING TO START AT THE LOCAL
LEVEL DON WE'LL START WITH YOU.
WHO IS YOUR POLITICAL WINNER AT
THE LOCAL LEVEL. THAT WAS A
PRETTY EASY CHOICE. SOME OF
THESE CAN GET DIFFICULT INDYA
KINCANNON. I THINK MOST OF US
HERE WOULD LIKELY PUT HER NO
BETTER THAN SECOND STARTING THE
MAYOR'S RACE MAYBE HIS LOWEST
THIRD AND SHE CAME THROUGH IT.
I KNOW SUSAN AND I WHEN WE'RE
DOING COVERAGE WE KIND OF
THOUGHT IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN
EDDIE AND MARSHALL STAY OR GET
THROUGH TO THE GENERAL ELECTION
INDYA GOT THROUGH AND WON
FAIRLY CLOSE BUT DID A HECK OF
A JOB A HECK OF A POLITICAL
CAMPAIGN. AND I THINK VERY
CLEARLY DESERVES TO BE MY LOCAL
WINNER YOUR LOCAL WINNER SUSAN
WELLL WOMEN FOR ONE THING
BECAUSE WE NOW HAVE SEVEN ON
CITY COUNCIL SEVEN SEVEN IN THE
NINE SEATS AND THE OTHER ONE IS
THE CITY COUNCIL MOVEMENT THAT
GROUP THAT HAS BEEN PUTTING OUT
CANDIDATES AND WINNING WITH
SOME OTHER CANDIDATES AND I
THINK THEY'RE A FORCE TO BE
RECKONED WITH. BILLY HOW ABOUT
YOU AT THE LOCAL LEVEL YOUR
POLITICAL WINNER FOUR YEARS AGO
ON THIS SHOW THERE WERE SOME OF
US READY TO DELIVER THE
OBITUARY OF THE DEMOCRATIC
PARTY THIS LAST YEAR. THE
DEMOCRATS ELECTED MAYOR THEY
NOW HAVE A MAJORITY ON THE CITY
COUNCIL I THINK THE RUMORS OF
THEIR DEATH WERE EXAGGERATED.
FAIR TO SAY THAT IS A
NONPARTISAN BODY BUT AS YOU
MENTIONED THE MAJORITY DOES
LEAN IN THAT DIRECTION. ALL
RIGHT KAREN YOUR POLITICAL
WINNER ON THE LOCAL LEVEL. SO I
LOOKED AT IT AS SOMEBODY IN
OFFICE NOW AND I WENT WITH
THEM. GLENN JACOBS I THINK HE
CAME IN AS A POLITICAL NEWCOMER
AND I THINK HE'S DONE A GOOD
JOB. YOU KNOW IT'S SO OFTEN
DURING THE CAMPAIGN YOU HEAR
PROMISES BUT HE'S MANAGED TO
KEEP UP HIS COMMUNICATIONS HIS
WEEKLY VIDEOS HE'S OUT IN THE
COMMUNITY AND HE'S TRYING TO
GET RESOLUTION TO PROBLEMS THAT
HAVE BEEN AROUND FOR A LONG
TIME. WHAT DO ALL OF YOU THINK
OF THAT. HAS HE CERTAINLY.
SUSAN YOU POINTED IT OUT ON ON
VARIOUS SHOWS IN FACT LAST WEEK
WE TALKED ABOUT YOU TALKED
ABOUT THAT. YEAH HE HE IS
REALLY SOMEONE WHO I THINK YOU
KNOW NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW
ABOUT HIM WE ALL SORT OF DIDN'T
I GUESS GIVE HIM ENOUGH CREDIT
BECAUSE WE THOUGHT HE'S A
PROFESSIONAL WRESTLER RIGHT.
WWII. I DON'T I DIDN'T KNOW WHO
CAIN WAS BUT I VOTE FOR HIM AND
SO DID EVERYONE IN MY FAMILY
BECAUSE WE WERE REALLY
IMPRESSED WITH HIS CAMPAIGN AND
NOW THAT HE'S SERVING I THINK
HE'S DOING TERRIFIC JOBS HE'S
STANDING UP HE'S BEING HEARD
HE'S MAKING WAVES AND I LOVE IT
WHEN YOU CONTRAST HIM. TIM
BURCHETT WHO WAS REALLY A GET
ALONG GO ALONG GUY? I DON'T
MEAN THAT BAD ABOUT HIM WHEN HE
WAS MAYOR BUT HE REALLY DID HIS
BEST TO AVOID CONTROVERSIAL
WITH DIFFERENT GOVERNMENTAL
AGENCIES. AND YOU LOOK AT WHAT
QUINN JACOBS HAS GONE THROUGH
OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS? YOU
KNOW FIRSTWE BUT ARMSTRONG'S
OFFICE THE COUNTY LAW DIRECTOR
AND NOW A LITTLE BIT WITH
COUNTY COMMISSION HE'S YOU KNOW
AS I SAID FLEX DOES MUSCLE A
LITTLE AND SHOWN THAT HE HAS A
POLITICAL. NO. YEAH. PENNINGTON
THAT HE HAS SOME POLITICAL
CHOPS AND NEVER HAVING SERVED.
I'M IMPRESSED WITH THAT WHETHER
I AGREE WITH WHAT HE'S DOING OR
NOT. HE POLITICALLY IS
NAVIGATING THINGS VERY WELL.
ALL RIGHT LET'S RETURN TO YOU
KAREN WITH YOUR POLITICAL LOSER
ON THE LOCAL LEVEL. WELL THAT
WAS A GREAT SEGWAY BECAUSE I
HAVE BUT ARMSTRONG I THINK HE
TRIED WITH THE PENSION SUIT AND
TRIED TO STAND UP TO THE MAYOR
AND COMMISSIONER MAYOR SAID YOU
KNOW WE'RE GOING TO GO THIS WAY
AND I THINK HE'S TRYING TO DO
THE SAME THING AGAIN IN THE TVA
AND THE M.O. YOU FOR THE BOARD
AND COMMISSION AND I JUST DON'T
THINK IT'S GOING TO SERVE THE
COMMUNITY WELL. VEHILE I'LL
PICK UP ON LYNN JACOBSON. I
THINK THE LOSER THIS YEAR WAS
THE POLITICAL ESTABLISHMENT.
GLENN JACOBS A YEAR AGO ONE WAS
CLEARLY NOT THE CANDIDATE OF
THE POLITICAL ESTABLISHMENT IN
YOUR KINCANNON MEMBERS WHO WON
ON CITY COUNCIL WERE ALSO NOT
ESTABLISHED CANDIDATES. I THINK
THE FACT THAT ALL THESE WON IS
A WAKEUP CALL THAT THAT THINGS
ANDKNOXVILLE CHANGE.
INTERESTING SUSAN. WELL I'M
GOING TO PICK UP ON WHAT BILLY
SAID IS HIS WEBBERS DEMOCRAT
PARTY LOCALLY. I THINK FRANKLY
THE REPUBLICANS IN THE CITY
ELECTIONS ARE LYOU. WE ARE
LOSING OUR PARTY'S GOT TO WAKE
UP AND REALIZE THAT THE CITY
CITY OF KNOXVILLES NOW IS
DEMOCRAT AND THEY NEED TO WORK
ON THAT AND GET SOME GOOD
CANDIDATES RUNNING FOR LOCAL
CITY CITY OFFICES AND YOU KNOW
SAID THEY'RE WINNING. THE
DEMOCRATS ARE WINNING. IT IS
MEANT TO BE A NONPARTISAN RIGHT
BODY. BUT WE ALL KNOW WHO HERE
ARE THE REPUBLICANS AND THE
DEMOCRATS? AND EDIE MINUS WAS
CLEARLY REPUBLICAN NOTHING
THINK NOBODY YOU KNOW NOBODY
DID AND EVERYBODY FIGURED THAT
ONE OUT AND YOU KNOW CITY
COUNCIL SAME WAY WE'VE GOT TO
WAKE UP. I SORT OF HAD BILLIE'S
ANSWER AND WE TALKED ABOUT THIS
A LITTLE BIT BEFORE THE SHOW
BUT. BUT I WAS REAL TORN. SO
I'LL GO WITH MY OTHER ANSWER. I
REALLY THINK MARSHALL STEYER
AND I THINK A LOT OF US AND
IT'S NOT TO DERIDE HIS CAMPAIGN
OR WHAT HE STOOD FOR BECAUSE HE
WOULD HAVE BEEN A FABULOUS
MAYOR. BUT I THINK IN A VERY
VERY CLOSE RACE IF WE WERE
FORCED TO PICK BEFORE THE
PRIMARY A LOT OF US THOUGHT
WELL MARSHALL'S REALLY DONE A
NICE JOB EIGHT YEARS ON CITY
COUNCIL AND IT SORT OF FELT
LIKE MAYBE IT WAS MARSHALL'S
TIME NOT ONLY DID HE NOT WIN HE
FINISHED THIRD. AND SO I KNOW
BOTH HE AND EDDIE MANNIX ARE
VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE
RESULTS GOOD NEWS IS THEY BOTH
HAVE FINE CAREERS TO GO BACK
TO. BUT I WOULD SAY YOU KNOW
FIRST MARSHALL AND THEN TO A
LESSER DEGREE EDDIE SANTAS. BUT
I ALSO AGREE WITH BILLY THE
ESTABLISHMENT THE GOOD OLE BOY
DAYS ARE GONE AND IT'S A GOOD
THING
