I was reminded today that Alderman and Vice-Mayor Mike Haynes has been elected Alderman in both Ward I and Ward II. He garnered the most percentage of votes Tuesday in his re-election bid, leading the ticket.

It brings to mind that if there is a consensus builder in Farragut, that can heal the wounds between Farragut and Knox County, City of Knoxville, Knox County School System, Knoxville Utilities Board and Lenior City Utilities Board that Mike Haynes, just may be the man for the job.
