July 9, 2018 Redmon honored, The ‘Jane greenway extended and Allen Drive’ Lonsdale property accepted by city By Mike Steely [email protected] keeps going During a short meeting the Knox- ville City Council adopted a resolu- tion honoring the late Lynn Redmon, postponed a rezoning on Ferd Hickey Road, authorized a property purchase to expand a greenway, and authorized the mayor to apply for a grant to pur- chase a police boat and dock. The thirty-minute session on Tuesday saw Councilman Marshall Stair read the resolution about Redmon, honor- ing the community leader and political consultant, a persuasive speaker and activist, a leader of the Norwood com- munity, and a gentleman. Mayor Madeline Rogero said that Redmon always looked “at the long game” and believed that good and rea- sonable people may disagree. Red- mon’s longtime companion, Susan Rickabaugh, spoke briefly and accept- ed the honors on behalf of Redmon’s family. Larry Silverstein said that Redmon was one of the founders of Community Forum. “He didn’t have to yell to make his point,” Silverstein said. The second and final reading to permit 4 units per acre to be built on Ferd Hickey Road east of Piney Grove Road was postponed for two weeks on a request from Councilwoman Seema Singh-Perez. The rezoning, requested by the Planning Commission, would PHOTOS BY STEVE WILLIAMS take the property from Agriculture to Top: Jane Allen Drive honors and pays tribute to a lady who has served Fountain City and the City of Knoxville for over 55 years.

Intraparty Organization in the U.S. Congress by Ruth Frances Bloch Rubin Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science University of California, Berkeley Professor Eric Schickler, Chair The purpose of this dissertation is to supply a simple and synthetic theory to help us to understand the development and value of organized intraparty blocs. I will argue that lawmakers rely on these intraparty organizations to resolve several serious collective action and coordination problems that otherwise make it difficult for rank-and-file party members to successfully challenge their congressional leaders for control of policy outcomes. In the empirical chapters of this dissertation, I will show that intraparty organizations empower dissident lawmakers to resolve their collective action and coordination challenges by providing selective incentives to cooperative members, transforming public good policies into excludable accomplishments, and instituting rules and procedures to promote group decision-making. And, in tracing the development of intraparty organization through several well-known examples of party infighting, I will demonstrate that intraparty organizations have played pivotal — yet largely unrecognized — roles in critical legislative battles, including turn-of-the-century economic struggles, midcentury battles over civil rights legislation, and contemporary debates over national health care policy.

A motion by committee member Mike Arms to have the county’s chief law authority appointed by the county mayor failed in a 12-9-1 vote. It means the law director will continue to be elected by county voters.
