The $362.00 in unpaid taxes for 2006 are filed and in the possession of the office of the Union County Clerk and Master. The $550.14 in unpaid taxes for 2007 (through June) are filed and in possession of the Union County Trustee’s office.
Foster’s campaign website uses campaign rhetoric like
Do the right thing
Do your very best each day
Treat others as you want to be treated.
His campaign website goes on to proclaim that Foster believes in
Honor Above All Else
Honesty
Integrity
Accountability
Accessibility
and Transparency.
He promises not to violate our trust.
How about the trust of his neighbors in Union County? How honorable, honest, accountable and transparent is his actions in Union County? How is it doing the right thing, when you fail to pay all your property taxes?
The Knoxville News-Sentinel led by Jack McElroy has spent a considerable amount of time and ink on exposing county commission candidate Richard Cate and Sam McKenzie for not paying their taxes. But not a peep or a smudge of ink on their primary endorsed candidate for County Clerk, Foster Arnett.
McElroy and crowd will tabloid (today, on their website and in tomorrow’s print edition) on the unfortunate private domestic events (last night) of the other County Clerk candidate. But will they treat Arnett the same? It is doubtful.
Here is a photo of the neighborhood of Foster’s waterfront view property. Will McElroy and crowd print a map with directions to this weekend property, like they did with former Sheriff Tim Hutchison’s weekend residence? It is doubtful.
Where are the investigative reporters at Scripps on their anointed candidates?
We attempted to reach Foster on the phone number published on his campaign website, there was no answer. A message was left.
