Should Mayor Doyle Arp Resign?

[David Divelbiss]

Nice poll, Slurner.

[slurner]

Thanks for friends suggestions- I have a feeling it will be a hot topic, as there have been 5 comments in 12 inutes!

[Rockefeller]

Wow...I wonder if this is any sign of how these elected officials are going to turn up in their next elections? Whew! I wouldn't want to be in their shoes.

[CountryGal21]

Yes! He should resign! He should've resigned when he became ill instead of taking the taxpayer's dollars for little work. Plus, after the "you shut up" screaming incident @ the last board meeting w/ regards to his friend's refusal to pay the AFT and subsequent lawsuit about it...Arp only makes Loudon look worse and worse to any potential new residents or companies.

INCLUDING ARP GUIDER AKINS AND DAVIS LETS CLEAN HOUSE

[Rockefeller]

And...Brookshire, Vann, Aikens, Simpson, and anybody that goes along with the crooks in Lenoir City and can be kicked to the curb by election.

[slurner]

The poll today says that there are 13 people who believe arp should not resign. I wonder if every one of those 13 have favors granted to them by Arp? Most are developers or kin, I'll bet.

You forgot to count Harry Wampler.

[slurner]

I stand corrected- Harry and Riley Wampler and let us not forget Fred Chaney- the Arp's right hand best buddy, clerk and master.

unfortunately these 174 don't speak for the ill-advised, blind, misguided, and lets say special friends of these people. Maybe at one of there so called get togethers (parties that I would not let my dog go to) they will get more support. Sickening just sickening what is going on I would love for anyone to come visit my area to see what REALLY happens!

I'd like to hear about it.

Create an anonymous yahoo ID, and tell on them.

What we need to do is get some video and upload it to YOU TUBE. Let the whole world see what wonderful officials we have to let this go on.

[Wilma]

Let it go on? They are probably right in the middle of it. I would love for somebody to snap a picture of it and post it on here. Then this stuff about lies being told would surprise a few of these folks.

[Ashamed]

Arp is a joke, a crook, and an example of everything that is wrong with politics. Especially in Loudon County. I'm with Country Gal21 and Get Rid Of Them All. It would be nice if we could put them all on a stage and have a big trap door under them. I'd gladly pull the cord!

[redbarron]

37 people, or 12%, say Doyle Arp should not resign.

The problem is, those 37 probably run all departments of the county government.

[fedup]

if nothing else, a statement should be issued that
he is co-operating with an investigation. What's
done is done and he has already hung himself if
what has been written is true. DA Johnson should
immediately recuse himself to distance the appearance of favoritism. Too bad a wall could not
be built seperating Knox and Loudon counties. You
can't tell the difference anymore.

[Rockefeller]

DA Johnson should recuse himself and request an investigation by the State of Tennesse DA. That is what they are doing in Knoxville with Mike Ragsdale. This crooked stuff has stretched over to Lenoir City also. There is a bunch of bad stuff going on down there at city hall. Just wait. Someday it will all boil over and I wouldn't want to be in their shoes.

No, but I'd give anything to be a fly on the wall when it happens!

[tired of ARP]

WE SHOULD HAVE PUT TONY AIKENS IN THERE

Oh brother! Outta the frying pan into the fire!
