I attended the Halls Republican Club meeting last night. It was challenging driving through the storm. But the turnout was good. I commended Sheriff Jones prior to the meeting. Because as I was driving to the meeting a Sheriff’s deputy was out of his car cutting a tree with a hand saw that had fallen slightly onto Maynardville Highway. All the KPD officers that I saw were sitting in their cruisers, while general Knoxville employees were cutting the trees with chain saws near the Holston Chilhowee Recreation Center. Last night the two speakers were Sheriff Jimmy “J.J.” Jones and one of the candidates for County Clerk.

Brian’s Blog anticipates filing a full report post about the meeting later today.
