After sorting through all the reporting and letters and findings, this is my synopsis of events in the Blount Co Circuit Court.

What seems strange to me is that none of the Republicans seem to care that Young falsely charged Meares with being behind on his caseload. Has Hatcher or Young apologized, and I just missed it? In David Black's long letter, I see no concern for whether Meares had been falsely accused.

Random fact that didn't fit: Duggan wrote last August that the Local Rules should be revisited. The bar could have resolved the matter long before election season if they took it up when Meares and Duggan were saying they should, but they dragged it in instead.

This blog entry goes with this event listing.

Come one, come all to the Blount County Public Library next Wednesday, Nov. 14 at 6pm for a panel discussion on electricity production, Green Power, and energy efficiency. Learn how to lower your electric bills and thereby reduce the amount of air pollution generated and lower the demand for coal. Learn how the Green Power Switch program works and why renewable energy is better for environmental health.

Tell your friends and neighbors!

The presentation at the library is part of a larger community awareness effort undertaken by three Maryville College seniors. One of them wrote about their efforts for Hellbender Press.
