TVA experts meet with public

Representatives from the Tennessee Valley Authority met with members of the Tellico Village Home Owners Association Tuesday night to address concerns residents have with the boxes of sand on the earthen embankments at Fort Loudoun and Tellico Dams.

The crowd in attendance, many of whom were forced to stand in the back of the room after the seats filled in, heard a presentation from several TVA experts before being allowed to pose questions about the necessity and long-term solutions to the issue. The questions were written on cards and asked by a moderator.

Should Angie Vittatoe Be Elected Loudon County Clerk?

(guest editorial, by Amy Vittatoe)

I was recently informed of Angie Housley Vittatoe's interest in running for Loudon County Clerk and the thought of this humors me. Mrs. Angie Vittatoe does not hold the qualifications needed for a position of such importance. If she had the qualifications she still does not possess the morals and ethical standards needed to hold such a respectable job.

I am in disbelief that Mrs. Vittatoe actually feels that she is a good candidate for Loudon County Clerk after the immoral behaviors she has displayed over the past few years while working for Loudon County Government.

Does Mrs. Vittatoe think the community has forgotten her public affair in 2005 with her current husband Jeff Vittatoe while they were both in long-term marriages? Does she believe the public has forgotten her allegations that she was carrying Mr. Vittatoe's child, hoping that he would leave his wife and family to be with her after she developed an infatuation for him while he was investigating her cousin's murder? Does she think she has buried the secret of her past employment, from 2006-2007, hosting novelty parties and selling naughty toys?

On Angie’s campaign web page, none of these matters are in her "About Me" profile.

I personally have not forgotten the lustrous rendezvous that Jeff and Angie Vittatoe were having in motels during Loudon County Government work hours, because their immorality and lack of respect for marriages caused a great deal of hurt and humiliation for both her previous husband and me, Jeff's wife.

At the time of the affair Jeff and I had been married 6 years, and I stayed with him 2 years after the affair trying to work on our marriage.

That was the hardest two years of my life. But I was raised that marriage is a commitment to God and divorce is the last alternative.

Two years and one month later, in October of 2007, I left Jeff. I divorced him in December 2007 under the terms of his marital misconduct. About a month later, I discovered that Jeff and Angie had picked up on their relationship where they had left off, or at least claimed they had left off.

Knowing what I have endured from Angie Vittatoe over the past 4 years, she has demonstrated that she is not a good candidate for public office by her actions of dishonesty, impulsiveness and lack of concern for others.
