After eight years in office, Knox County Mayor Mike Ragsdale finds himself just days away from being a private citizen.

On September 1 Tim Burchett, a former state senator, will be sworn into office. That day ends for Ragsdale more than a decade of public service, first as a county commissioner and finally as county mayor.

Mayor Ragsdale is Gene Patterson's guest in the first and second segments of this week's program.

Then in the Final Word segment, Larry van Guilder, editor of the Shopper News, and Metropulse Managing Editor Jesse Mayshark discuss the Ragsdale administration and the mayor's impact on local politics.
