Be Your Own Commissioner
Want to be the next County Commissioner for District 4? You still have a day to sign up. Commission Chairman Larry Henry said this morning that the deadline for applicants to immediately replace William Cotton is tomorrow at noon. The only current aspirants are Dr. Warren Mackey and Brian Caldwell -- the two men, not coincidentally, who are running for the seat in fall elections. If no one else applies, the Commission will select one of these men as an interim Commissioner on March 9 at 9:30 a.m. "I hope it's pretty much settled," Henry said.
In other Co-Com news:
-- Curtis Adams was on the front page of this morning's Times Free Press, having told the paper that he had been contacted by an E-Cycle representative and bagman Charles Love early in the FBI's Tennessee Waltz sting operation. The article did not allege any wrongdoing by Adams. The District 8 Commissioner was not available to answer questions this morning; he left the meeting early to serve as a pallbearer for former chief deputy Jack Russell.
-- Fred Skillern spent a few minutes praising Chattanooga State's Middle College program, and wondered aloud if local educational achievements couldn't be better explained to the Commission. "It seems like," he said, "the only communication we have with the school system is them asking for money and me saying 'no.'" Well, it's not just him saying it.
-- Skillern was also responsible for the morning's greatest disappointment. "We're here to honor Red Bank girl's softball," he declared while introducing an early resolution. "But we're also here to honor a little bit more." But it was pretty much girl's softball.
