BEI’s recent Gubernatorial Community Forum generated a lot of interest in the community and resulted in some broad-ranging questions for the candidates who participated. The candidates included Ward Cammack, Knoxville Mayor Bill Haslam, Kim McMillan and U.S. Rep. Zach Wamp. For more information on the forum, click here. While candidates were answering questions in front of an audience of about 250 people in William Blount High School’s auditorium plus those watching it live on WBIR’s 10News2 and their Web site, WBHS senior and Student Council representative Candice Lawtonwas taking pictures of the event for BEI. Here is a selection of the photos that she took.
