EDITORIAL: School Board Election turns dirty already

Challenger Jeremy Buckles

Incumbent Van Shaver

It has not even been a week since the deadline to Qualify for the August races and in the Fifth District, Incumbent Van Shaver is Attacking Opponent, Jeremy Buckles.  On Monday, Shaver issued a post disclosing personal emails from Buckles that were written well before the election qualifying deadline. To this reporters knowledge a school board race has never been this nasty in Loudon County. This reporter finds this tactic unbelievable. This was very low and a cheap shot by Mr. Shaver.
