Constituent Voices

Dave Wright strives to serve the citizens of his community with diligence, integrity and honor.

Exact words taken from Commissioner Wright’s profile on www.knoxcounty.org.   I have a hard time believing this.  Commissioner Wright has been approached with the recent topic of Fresenius Mfg. applying for rezoning of acreage in the district he represents.  This rezoning, if approved, will affect so many people of the community in so many ways, not many of them positive.

When approached with this topic Commissioner Wright indicated that he will vote in favor of MPC recommendation.  MPC already approved this rezoning, so Commissioner Wright will also vote in favor of the rezoning.  Sounds to me like Commissioner Wright isn’t listening to the people he represents.

I wonder if he thinks we won’t remember this when it comes time to cast our vote in the upcoming election?

If he can’t properly represent the constituents of district 8 how is he supposed to represent the residents of Tennessee as State Representative?  I guess we will see on Monday when Commissioner Wright either votes for the rezoning or against it.
