Rebecca Ferrar And Matt Lakin of the News Sentinel have a column [1] today in the KNS that corroborates charges made by Tyler Harber in the three part Betty Bean column [2]in the Halls Shopper News.
While there is a deep well of both comedy and drama in the 33 pages of emails [3] that explores the soap opera like atmosphere of the KNOX GOP these emails ask the larger question, how can there not be an investigation of Tyler Harber?
Monday at 2:00 PM Knox County Commission will vote on whether the Commission should investigate Tyler Harber's employment with Knox County. 13 votes are required and yesterday Knox County Commissioner Lumpy Lambert said on AM 1180 that 9 votes are available and the remaining 4 votes may come in over the weekend.
People years from now will ask how this whole thing blew up so badly. It appears that the desire for the KNOX GOP mailing list was a powerful lure and when this prize collided with Mayor Mike Ragsdale's temper [4]there was an explosion. If Mayor Ragsdale had not called Chad Tindell and lost his temper, as Tyler Harber alleges, perhaps this whole affair would have not ignited.
Many people will be upset no matter has this is resolved. Now Knox County awaits the decision of County Commission. What will they decide?
