I was wondering about that this weekend. Well, I just got a message indicating they would be announcing endorsements Friday morning.
They have not done a second round of interviews, so I suppose they are going to rely on their January interviews? Recent media coverage? (...shudder...what media coverage? OK, it's ramped up a bit this week, I admit...) That's too bad, I think a lot has changed and a lot has gone on since then. I had some particular points I would have liked to make in a second interview.
Anyway, stay tuned.

Good job getting a fractional endorsement.
What happened to endorsements for the countywide candidates? -- s.

David Moon addressed this & said they felt that commission races, being the policy-making body had the most impact on improving the future of Knox Co (I would agree) and this they focused on the commission races.
