We were unable to attend the West Knox Republican Club last evening. However Political Leverage was there and filed this report at their blog.

It seems that Hammond is telling people that he has asked several Attorneys and they have told him that because he only served two years of one term that he can run. First of all Attorneys tell you what you pay them for, Mikey. Our sources hope that the lawyer that assisted with the picture in Birmingham wasn’t advised.

Secondly, what part of “no person shall be eligible to serve in any elected office of Knox County if during the previous two terms of that office the person in question has served more than a single term.” (Knox County Charter 9.17 A) do you not understand?
