Thurman presses Scales' contract controversy


District 1 representative Rhonda Thurman sent a letter to the Board of Professional Responsibility — which supervises ethical conduct among attorneys — asking if attorney and District 7 representative Joe Conner violated any ethics rules when he drew up Dr. Scales’ new contract.

Commentary: I personally think it's despicable when remarks about Rhonda's profession are constantly brought up as a negative. So what? She's not a lawyer or a former pizza tosser, she works on faces and hair but she's serious about having a good school system. Bradley D-A Defends Sheriff Against Website Attacks


"Bob1960" accused Sheriff Gobble of protecting Queen from prosecution in the incident, and of generally operating a corrupt department. Registered members of the NewsChannel9.com social network can make anonymous comments on any news story.

Commentary: I wonder how long until the DA presses NC9 to hand over the IP address of bob1960? State Closes Two Chattanooga Bars


The Market Street and Tremont Street Taverns both have signs posted saying the state government seized the buildings. According to the signs, the seizure was for nonpayment of Tennessee sales tax.

Commentary: Was there for Green Drinks. I've spent many of $$ at Market St Tavern, good food, good beer, and bad service almost constantly. I hope they get their stuff together and return soon.

    My wife is a hairstylist, and knowing about the world of hair, Rhonda Thurman is able to interact with the public more than any other school board member. Nowhere else will you find out more about the opinion of the day and what people are really concerned about than in one of those seats that raises and lowers.
