Commissioner Craig Leuthold nominated the Chief Deputy of the Trustee’s office Fred Sisk for appointment as Trustee. No other candidates were nominated and Sisk was elected to the position.

The only issue is Leuthold jumping to nominate Sisk. Leuthold a full time employee (running the Farragut branch office) of the Trustee’s office nominating his future boss is a potential problematic issue for Leuthold.

Certainly it would have been more advantagous for Leuthold to have not nominated his employer and not to expose himself to unneccesary criticism and potential allegations of unethical behavior.

Fred Sisk is not only the best qualified candidate for Trustee, he is also my friend and I look forward to working with his 2008 campaign.
