Knoxville Mayor-elect Madeline Rogero

After what many felt was a bitter and negative campaign for Knoxville mayor by her opponent, Madeline Rogero outpolled Mark Padgett and won in a landslide on Tuesday night.

When the vote counting started the outcome was never in doubt as Rogero easily won the early and absentee votes. As each precinct came in, her lead hardly faltered.

The mayor-elect joins Gene Patterson for the first portion of this week's program.

Then, 6 News political analyst George Korda, attorney Greg Isaacs, and Cortney Piper of Piper Communications discuss the election with Gene. They also talk about the allegations of child sex abuse by a former Penn State football coach and the firing of head coach Joe Paterno.
