Ballot Battle

Finally, the Catoosa County News picked up the scent of a story here... They ran an article today online citing an apparent attempt to have the ballot questions removed and the entire ballot replaced. There's a possibility that local attorney Renzo Wiggans (sp?) (Boy, that would earn a lot in Scrabble!) has either filed or threatened to file (on behalf of whom?) a suit demanding that the ballot be pulled and changed.

Apparently, the ballot questions were added without the express approval of the (R) Party Executive Committee. Boy Wonde(R) Brad Scott, who has since resigned from the party leadership, said that he emailed everyone on the Executive Committee and didn't get any responses.

How Gen-Y.

Any-hoo... We'll have to wait to see how it plays out. I agree that it doesn't matter that there are partisan, non-binding questions on the ballot. I, like others apparently, simply object to the manner in which the questions were added to the ballot -- done from behind closed doors (or, at best via email to a select few), originated/written by who knows whom (but most certainly including the Puppet Master himself)... we are left to wonder just who the (R) party is trying to represent?
