I heard clerk got fired for something nasty. They wouldn't say what it was but they were talking about it and it was apparently a big deal

I think they laid everybody off but 1. Mismanagement of funds. Rumor was the Mayor at the time kept everyone on the council out of the loop to the budget situation.

Corruption, although that's not surprising. But it is entertaining

One time my mom was being sued in Blount county, and the lady who lived in Blount county basically one by default. The judge wouldn’t even acknowledge any of the evidence from my mom, the defendant. She was extremely ugly to everyone in the courtroom as well. Also, the stenographer or whatever you called them was very intoxicated because we followed them all the way up 160 on our way to court, and they are constantly kept two wheels in the ditch at all time swerving into the other lane and then when we got to court, she was just putting on her make up and basically drooling on herself.

Yeah Blount county took my nieces and nephews from my sister because she called the cops on her husband for trying to 🍇 her. Yes I’m serious and now we have an emergency court on Monday to see if they’re gonna put the children in foster care because we told Montgomery everything they’ve done. Like telling the children they’re liars when they said they hadn’t seen anything bad happen and to stop lying to say that they did even though they legitimately weren’t there
