I have received multiple phone calls from individuals concerned about a rumor that if Conley Underwood is elected that Carter Elementary School construction will be pulled. Finally, last night I received a phone call saying that retired Knox County Assistant Principal Alvin Taylor is repeating this information to people that are supporting Underwood for Eighth District Knox County School Board.
I immediately called Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett and asked him about the rumor. His response was instant and matter of fact. Burchett said "that is a lie" This morning I contacted Knox County's Purchasing Director Hugh Holt and asked him if the project could be pulled. He said this agreement has been consummated by the Knox County School Board, Knox County Commission and the Knox County Industrial Development Board. Dirt should be moving in three weeks. I then contacted Melissa Copelan the Knox County Schools PR Guru, I asked her to obtain a response from Dr. Jim McIntyre. Dr. McIntyre said both bodies (Schools and Commission, I presume) have given the appropriate approvals and the project is moving forward.
So, those of you in the Carter community. Do not fear the unknown, the Carter Elementary project will carry forward when you elect Conley Underwood to the Knox County School Board representing Carter, Gibbs and all the communities of the Eighth District.

Alvin Taylor is a dirt bag and always has been. There is a good reason why is a a "former" assistant principal.
Plus, he likes the Dodgers...
Haha, that is rich! Mr. Taylor's wife just tried to wag her finger at a good friend of mine, telling her that sending political emails was "very distasteful and unprofessional", guess she should have a good talking to with her husband about lying.
Thanks for keeping the truth available for voters in the 8th District school board race. It's sad to think anyone would believe Taylor's comments about Conley stopping the construction of Carter Elementary School. Obviously Taylor is trying to use scare tactics. Does he not realize he is insulting the intelligence of the voters? This makes me want to vote for Conley Underwood even more.
