Heiskell Election Void Over Campaign Finance Rule
In Knoxville on February 24 Judge Von A Huffaker overruled Demurrer in the mayoralty injunction case. The court held Mayor Heiskell’s January 20 election void for failing to publish a sworn campaign expense statement under the charter but did not permanently disqualify him. The board’s remaining members would fill the vacancy, an appeal was filed, and the issue goes to the supreme court next fall. The complainant seeks a new election, arguing the charter violation disqualifies Heiskell for the full term.
