IT IS TIME FOR RESPONSIBLE ACTION.
AS CITIZENS AND TAXPAYERS, SILENT MAJORITY HAS PREVIOUSLY REQUESTED THAT THE COMMISSIONERS, PENSION BOARD, AND MAYOR RESIGN, IN VIEW OF THEIR DOCUMENTED MISFEASANCE. OUR REQUEST IS NOW FOCUSED ON OUR DISHONORED COUNTY MAYOR, CURRENTLY BESET FROM ALL SIDES. (WE WILL REVISIT THE PENSION BOARD AND COUNTY COMMISSION SOON.)
THERE ARE MANY WELL-DOCUMENTED INSTANCES OF SERIOUS MALFEASANCE ON THE PART OF MAYOR RAGSDALE. THE RECENTLY ADMITTED MISUSE OF CAMPAIGN FUNDS IS IN ITSELF GROUNDS FOR SEPARATION. THE LINGERING STENCH OF THE WHEEL TAX FRAUD, THE SHERIFF'S PENSION SCAM, AND OTHER BLATANT BLUNDERS DISCLOSE A BUMBLING, SELF-CENTERED BUREACRAT NOT FIT TO CAPTAIN OUR SHIP OF COUNTY. THERE ARE MYRIAD OTHER INSTANCES, INCLUDING SO-FAR UNDOCUMENTED DALLIANCES, THAT ADD UP TO A SEVERE INDICTMENT INDEED. THE SITUATION IS SO BAD THAT IT CAN NOT BE RECTIFIED BY THE INCUMBENT.
THIS IS MAYOR RAGSDALE'S FINAL OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE THE PUBLIC GOOD. HE MUST DO THE ONLY HONORABLE THING AND RESIGN. TO DELAY WILL MAKE IMPEACHMENT UNAVOIDABLE.
FOLLOWING IS A RESIGNATION FORM. FOR CONVENIENCE , MAYOR RAGSDALE MAY SIMPLY RETURN THE FORM TO THIS WEBSITE, AND WE WILL DISTRIBUTE IT TO THE TAXPAYER. TO BE SUBMITTED BY RAGSDALE TO HIS RIGHTFUL EMPLOYER, THE KNOX COUNTY TAXPAYER. INTERESTED BROWSERS MAY WISH TO SEND THIS PAGE DIRECTLY TO THE MAYOR, WHO MAY BE REACHED AT COUNTY.MAYOR@KNOXCOUNTY.ORG
To The Citizens Of Knox County
In view of the current discord centered in my office, in the interest of maximum community harmony, and in lieu of continuing investigations which could further embarrass myself, my family, and my support group, I hereby resign my position as Knox County Mayor.
This resignation is unconditional and immediate. I request no special treatment, and I surrender all claims to a related public pension, due to continuing questions about the legitimacy of my tenure. I wish success and prosperity for Knox County citizens , under the stewardship of its new leaders. I will do everything in my power to assist that leadership as it takes over in the current difficult and trying environment.
.
Mayor, Knox County
