Farragut Follies™ Volume 10--Ron Williams Becomes Farragut's New Misinformation Czar
Correcting Major Misinformation on Ron Williams' Mailer
This is a copy of a recently received Ron Williams mailer.
We have to correct numerous inaccuracies in it.
Ron talks about how the town thrives without a property tax. He is on the record supporting a local property tax.
Improved roadways and expanded parks and open spaces
Ron Williams is leading the charge for 10 foot wide lanes, which are unsafe and too narrow. Ron Williams wants to close off Watt Road to tractor trailers. See the screenshot taken from his website below.
Established “Visit Farragut” campaign
This increased staffing in town and is a complete waste of money. What do we have in town that is a tourist spot? This is the opposite of his stated fiscal responsibility. Why does Ron Williams believe that taxpayer funds are required to advertise and promote private businesses?
Continue investments in infrastructure to improve traffic and roadways
Huh? He wants to shrink lanes to 10 feet wide, which will increase traffic delays. Shrinking lanes only slows traffic. They do not allow for more cars to pass through. Tractor trailers need a minimum of 11 feet to turn in a lane.
Expand opportunities for small business and local business owners
Most of the small businesses do not have signs visible on the road. The only small businesses who like Ron Williams are the ones owned by businesses advertised by the Farragut Business Alliance. This is just simply false.
Promote and expand community family friendly events
How soon he forgot about the August 21, 2021 Lawnchair Concert debacle.
Nothing says family friendly like a male wearing women’s clothing singing about sexuality to 3 year olds. Here are some other quotes from our family friendly performer’s Facebook page.
Our wonderful family friendly performer thinks you are a bigot to not want your 3 year old to see songs sung by a man in women’s clothes. Did anyone ever vet him before allowing him to perform?
Enhance and provide resources for protecting our community and keeping Farragut safe
This from the Mayor who has no emergency plan in place.
Ron Williams wins the award with this mailer for most misinformation in a mailer I have ever seen.
