Ballard Testing the Waters for County Mayor

Phillip Ballard, Knox County Property Assessor went to the School Board back when the Carter Middle School Gym was on life support. He begged board members just before the meeting. Never mind that the Carter community had been talking to the School Board members and had the votes before the meeting.

After the board voted to proceed with the Carter Middle Gym, Ballard was taking credit for delivering it.

Now, he has begun talks of running for County Mayor in 2014. Yes, he is beginning to boast that he can beat Mayor Tim Burchett.

"Mumble mumble spit drool stutter well I'm Phil Ballard, I've been your county commissioner, your property assessor and since the place is all screwed up now I am jumping ship again to run fer your mayor."

Oh brother were doomed, Burchett get well quick cause this clown is out for himself and will stop at nothing for political fame. Going to be a dark day in Knoxville if this is true.

Leaves the appointment process from the County Commission Leuthold as interim Assessor if the buzzard is elected. More of the same here, kinda what we all expected.

Ballard never did anything for Carter and he knows it, promised to represent us and left us high and dry for a better paying job. This guy is so dumb he couldn't find his way out of a Cas Walker paper poke with a neon sign saying exit here.

We just got the sixth floor straightened out this is not going to happen. Burchett is a good man and deserves to be mayor, Ballard go back to insurance claims leave the professionalism to a qualified man. Burchett for Mayor 2014

Hey wrinkles you gonna be First Lady? Heck you hold his hand to lead this clown to the front door. "Monkey see monkey do, Ballard is out to quickly screw you" Why don't you print the truth on those orange signs for a change.

Ballard just can't let go of that Gol'dard county tit, tuffy titty though Phil. We can stop you now as the old paper in Ft City can't boast your praises and survive this time. It's time to use a steam shovel and dig a hole for your political career. Can't believe you honestly think you can win this one. At least we know your four year plan, just like Exlax, time to move Phil, that means move out of the City County Building, I've got a broom and the old bag is going too.

The "old paper in Ft City" is too busy promoting McMillan as the solution to all of KCS's issues. Guess MM is a better "yes man" than Phil.

Phil has gotten so tied up in his promises made crap he has forgotten what his platform was about. He would be better at replacing a battery in a wind up watch.
