Citizens are starting a petition to remove Knox County Mayor Mike Ragsdale. Since the charter doesn't allow them to recall him, they're going to have to file an ouster lawsuit.
[Petition drive leader Charles] Bowers cited three reasons for ousting the mayor from office: Ragsdale's support of a wheel tax, the huge bond issue to pay for the Sheriff's Office pension plan and the audit of purchasing cards in the mayor's office, which shows more than $39,000 in questionable charges by the mayor and top staffers.
One County Commissioner, Victoria DeFreese, says that she's inclined to join the effort.
