What do you think of him? I honestly don't know much. I don't really hear/see many people bitching about him. I know that road projects are choking the city

I think it's bad arse the Kane became the mayor of Knoxville county.
When I was young I really believed he was Undertakers scarred up brother.

My mayor owned a brewery here, and then sold it to Urban South in New Orleans when he decided to run for office.
we have the same mayor - he was living across the street from me when he started the brewery

fun fact: he also used to be the Alabama beat writer for the Tuscaloosa News

i’m also on first name basis with another former mayor who attends my church

you live in the same place long enough, you get to know everybody eventually

I think he's doing fine. I look at similar sized cities in the region and it seems we have a lot of momentum and excitement compared to others. I think having American Magic and the things they are doing is cool (puts a lot of eye$ on the area) and if he can close that Birdon deal at the port that'll transform the job profile.

At my company we've even been successful in recruiting young talent from outside the area, which I couldn't say 5-10 years ago.

My old mayor got witch hunt by racist YTs but she's not in office anymore (also because of racist YTs). I don't know my current mayor since I moved.

I'm a fan of his politics as well.

quote:

In July 2020, Jacobs was the only member of the Knox County Board of Health to vote against a mask mandate for those inside certain buildings. He defended his vote by saying, "I worry that one-size-fits-all mandates such as this set a terrible precedent for government overreach, are difficult to enforce, can cause conflict between the authorities and the public when enforced, and, as written, this order places enforcement responsibilities on private businesses."[286][287] He would get into a dispute with the Board in September 2020, after he recorded a video where images of fellow members were displayed over narration of Jacobs calling them "unelected bureaucrats who cast down edicts which carry the force of law with no accountability and no recourse".

Yes, but I live in a fairly smallish town, so knowing the mayor isn’t exactly a flex.

When I lived in BR, I definitely knew the name of the dumbass "running" the city.

I did meet the mayor of North Ogden, Utah at an event one time but I don't remember his name. Things run smoothly here so I don't have to curse his name on a regular basis.

Dawn Morgan.

No idea how she's done. Must be doing okay...

Our area is experiencing too much growth if you ask me. Way too many people moving to my area. Getting too crowded.

No mayor, have a parish president.

Knew the last one quite well.

Don’t know the current one as well but if current one saw me he would refer to me by name and what I do to ask a few questions.
