Because many folks in Knoxville didn’t see the initial article. I live here. I donate to propublica and have been following them for years and am politically involved in my city… Still I didn’t see the initial article when it came out…

I ended up coming across the article about a month or two back when his name popped up for me through my work. I just googled him out of curiosity and it popped up. I tried to share it around to some friends… people who should have known about it. None of them had seen it either. It’s weird.

I found the 2023 propublica report mentioned in the OP. It makes him even worse. www.propublica.org/article/knox...

Yep. That’s the one I found a couple of months ago. He’s absolutely disgusting. I had to interact with one of his staff members after reading about him and I had a really hard time not asking how they keep their humanity while working for a monster like that. I suspect they don’t.
