I put up a post back before the May 6 Republican Primary that said if Craig Leuthold lost the primary to either Barry Hawkins or Ed Shouse, he will move back down to the Property Assessors office.

Well, today Ed Shouse took over and where did the “whack a mole” Leuthold pop up? Property Assessors office making $55,000 a year as the Public Information Officer. A position that was so essential that since July 2013 the position has been vacant. Cause you know the Property Assessor Phil Ballard a 2007 Black Wednesday a County Commissioner has to take care of his 2007 Black Wednesday County Commissioner pal Craig Leuthold. I think Barry Hawkins trade marked that term back during the Republican Primary for Trustee.

Here’s hoping Ed Shouse will not get swayed by a couple of the current Trustee regime, the two employees that wouldn’t let him out of their sight today. Here’s hoping Ed remembers the ones trying to monopolize his time today, were the ones out at polling places on May 6 and were putting up Leuthold signs and saying all matters of crap about Ed through the winter and spring.

Remember Ed, the citizens of Knox County wants a new approach, don’t surround yourself with the old regime. There are other desks they can go too. Or like Criminal Court Clerk Mike Hammond sometimes 6 or so employees just don’t have the counties best interest at heart.
