No other suit has been filed -- it was just a press release. Meanwhile, his attorney (Mike Ritter) was indicted by the Grand Jury a few weeks ago on the DUI incident last May. My objection to moving the court is mainly that it's one more example of the County increasing costs for Oak Ridge, while decreasing the services provided. Sure, our courtroom is hardly an example of stunning architecture and design... but exactly how much tax money do you want to put into the marble and teak for a place that you (hopefully) won't spend much time? If the County thinks the court needs better security or more space, then shouldn't they pay for the improvements? Election 06: it is what it is. Vote anyway. I tried to yesterday, but after waiting while they rebooted the laptop where you sign in about three times (five or six people ahead of me in line), I had to leave for another appointment. I'll go back today and try again. Gotta love early voting! Beauchamp: the John or Jane Doe lawsuit was dropped Aug. 15. No other suit has been filed — it was just a press release.

I liked the add where they said that they still had the same property taxes as in the 1950's. Just think a few years ago Oak Ridge was second in the State next to Memphis. No one ever talks about this but sure hand out $1,000,000 tax abatements. I like the attitude that FORDs Vote really made a difference ---its almost like Duncan's WAR Vote. It is sad FORD has Bredesen to talk about all his good deads. Well, it shows Corker has no Balls.Why didn't the Republicans ask Bredesen to do an add with them he is their Govenor, too. Isn't it funny how republicans and democrats treat each other like they have veneral disease. But one sure thing; Corker is sure no FRIST. Hope No One has a Heart Attack--- Wonder how Quick Corker can Holler---"Is There a Doctor in the House". Well, I got to wondering if Corker is a big moma’s boy with all his

Does the courtroom in OR service all of Anderson county? Is this court for specific types of crime? Clue me in, here, I don't know what's going on.

They hear things like misdemeanor criminal offenses, probation monitoring, orders of protection, and minor civil suits (under $25k). I think they try to hear cases in the jurisdiction nearest the case, so Oak Ridge police most often deal with Murch's court for misdemeanor cases. With orders of protection or civil matters, I think people have the option to file with whichever court is most convenient to them. For some time now though, Lake City police have brought cases to the Oak Ridge sessions court, because they don't like Layton, so I guess the police departments get to choose where they want to go.
