Most individuals that have attended or graduated from the University of Tennessee has at some point referred to getting the Big Orange Screw. Well now the latest has every Knox County taxpayer getting the Big Orange Screw.

CompassKnox a subscription based alternative news source, reports here that the University of Tennessee Board of Directors are set to approve the moving of the UT Presidents office to the East TVA Tower, contingent on Knox County leasing the tower and then sub leasing to them. Well that’s just Bullsh##, in my humble opinion.

I think UT should lease the towers and then if Knox County determines it needs the space then and only then can we sub lease from UT. There isn’t any need for Knox County taxpayers being on the hook for what they want.
