• I’m commenting on the situation regarding the Waterford [resident] who has observed a puppy who is neglected routinely. I would hope the neighbor would think more about the animal that is suffering than the friendship of his neighbor, and would communicate with the neighbor about the animal’s neglect. That would be more important than letting the animal remain in this inclement weather at this time. That’s unconscionable.
• Concerning the number of banks in Farragut: there are absolutely too many banks. They are locating in Farragut because there’s no tax, no property tax on them. And some way, in fact they get no revenue from the banks in Farragut for their being a business. I think some way should be figured out for Farragut to tax the banks so there’s some revenue from them.
Editor’s Note: Farragut levies no Property Tax on businesses or residents. Property Tax is levied by Knox County on all commercial property in Farragut, including banks.

MPC Choto decision
- Thu, Feb, 4, 2010
What ever happened to “Government of the people, by the people, and for the people?”
Yesterday evening, I attended a meeting of the Knox County Commission. A proposal was presented by certain developers to develop a vacant piece of land at the north/east corner of Northshore Drive and Choto Road near the western edge of Knox County. The development as proposed will be 15-plus acres consisting of a Weigel’s service center and convenience store along with several other retail and professional buildings sitting on an approximate eight-to-10-acre footprint.
