The candidates are: Finalist #1: Wendy Askins, Upper Cumberland Development District Finalist #2: Nashville Mayor Karl Dean Finalist #3: Chattanooga Electric Power Board Finalist #4: Former Davidson County Clerk John Arriola  Wow! some good choices. As much as I would like to vote for Dean or Arriola, I think I am going to have to go with Wendy Askins. I followed that story closely and also read the Investigative Audit Report.  The cynical abuse of authority and thievery in that case is appalling and just unbelievable.
