Blount County Election Commission seeks ruling on local election for sessions judge

Submitted by R. Neal on Thu, 08/14/2008 - 10:08.

The Maryville Daily Times reports on the question of whether there should be an election to replace Judge Duggan in Sessions Court. (See previous discussion here at BlountViews.)

Blount GOP Chair and Mayor Jerry Cunningham's assistant county mayor and financial director Dave Bennett invokes the Tennessee Constitution. This could end up being a test of the Tennessee Plan. We're certain he's aware of the controversy surrounding that.

Is Sessions Court Judge, basically a "justice of the peace," a county office or state office?
