• The mayor's race — the current Ward 1 (North Ward) alderman is running for mayor against the former vice mayor who's been in power a long time. She has been in power a long time. One of the big issues is how much support the Town of Farragut gives to the schools — the Farragut schools: primary, middle, high school. They give very, very little. I think it's barely over $100,000 a year to the primary, middle and high school. That's ridiculous. That's a big issue in the mayor race. The current Ward 1 (North Ward) alderman and the former vice mayor need to say what they would do about funding the schools better. Knox County supports the schools. Farragut does not. That's a big issue in the mayor race between the current Ward 1 (North Ward) alderman and the former vice mayor, who's been in power a long time.
