Tonight at the West Knox Republican Club John Schoonmaker was agitated and raised his voice about someone going around the 5th District talking about raising taxes. Schoonmaker was so agitated he slammed his hand on the wall at the Red Lobster.

So let’s travel back to the February 4, 2020 at the League of Women Voters of Knoxville/Knox County County Commission Forum and hear from Clayton Wood and John Schoonmaker on the question by Moderator Gene Patterson on if they would support raising taxes.
