Yes, we blogged about the latest Lumpy actions. We were disappointed in his actions. Brian Hornback of Brian’s Blog has had a conversation with Lumpy about his personal thoughts about the continued Lumpy theatric displays.

However, does his action rise to a censure level? NO. Did the Chairman immediately rebuke, reprimand Lumpy at the time of the incident? YES. In the Chairman’s rebuke, reprimand was it public and into the microphone for all the public to see and hear? YES. Any possible violation was cured at the time.

For Commissioner Richard Briggs to now attempt a public spectacle is perplexing. Briggs has a conflict of interest in the fact that he is the heart surgeon for Commissioner Lambert’s mother.

Our sources indicate that Briggs is being used as a tool by those individuals that have ties back to former Knoxville Mayor Victor Ashe. We stated here and we will restate again that Briggs is Victor’s guy!
