KNOXVILLE, TENN, July 27, 2017 – Wayne Christensen, candidate for Knoxville City Council, 2nd District issues the following statement.

“I fully oppose the City Council vote next week on raising the pay for City Council members. The job of being a City Councilman is not about pay or status, but about serving the people we represent, as well as it being a waste of tax dollars that could go to more beneficial endeavors. If elected as your City Councilman, I would oppose pay increases for members, as it sends the wrong message in terms of what public service is and should be about.”
