The Woody Era: Staff evaluation, EMA issues at top of new official’s list

Roane County Solid Waste Coordinator Ralph Stewart showed up at the courthouse the evening of the election wearing a Mike Farmer T-shirt.
That apparently won’t cost him his job when Ron Woody takes over as Roane County executive on Sept. 1.
“You expect everyone to support their bosses,” Woody said. “I want people that can do their work. I don’t care who they campaigned for.”
Woody defeated Farmer in this month’s election. He said he doesn’t plan to fire any of the staffers for supporting Farmer during the campaign.
