Both WBIR and WATE ran initial stories about School Boarder and 2004 Democrat Primary Voter Karen Carson announcing her candidacy for State Representative 14th District to replace former State Representative Ryan Haynes.

Her mentor Diane Jabalonski was soundly defeated for the same position in the 2004 Republican Primary when she challenged former 14th House State Representative Parkey Strader.

Both gal pals got into a little trouble 10 days ago when Mike Donila revealed that Jabs was soliciting contributions without a Treasurer and having a campaign fund established. Read Donila’s report here. Read the report from 9 days ago here on BrianHornback.Com

Sources indicate that when WBIR first published their report, a question was asked where is the mention of a political party? WBIR has updated the story that she is expected to run as a Republican. WATE still has the original story based on the release where no political party was mentioned.

Will the media force Carson to acknowledge her intent to step down from the school board?

Former State Rep. Shelby Rhinehart who served in the legislature representing Bledsoe, Sequatchie, Van Buren and parties of Grundy, Marion and Wayne Counties. In addition, he served as Chairman of Van Buren School Board since 1957 while serving in the legislature. Rhinehart passed away a few years ago.

Will the media force Carson to declare her intention? Of course she has a tendancy to lie. She even admitted in a video from the balanced calendar input session at Farragut that she doesn’t stick to what she tells people.
