Hall on Ragsdale

On Tennessee This Week, County Mayor candidate Steve Hall said he was encouraged to run by supporters who felt current Mayor Mike Ragsdale was arrogant and not a straight shooter. Hall cited the wheel tax issue as an example.
Political pundit Frank Cagle had an interesting observation about the County Commission races. Cagle says supporters of the wheel tax threatened to run candidates against Commissioners who voted against the tax and now it appears they made good on the threat. All those who voted against the wheel tax have opponents. Who's behind the effort? Cagle says Ragsdale denies anything to do with it.
