An e-mail sent Sunday from ousted Signal Mountain Town Councilman Bob Linehart to supporters of incumbent District 2 school board member Chip Baker outlined reasons voters should oppose the candidacy of Mr. Baker's opponent, Joe Dumas. Among the accusations were that Dr. Dumas did not support the new Signal Mountain Middle-High School and that he did support gay marriage, the legalization of marijuana and handguns in schools. A forwarded version of the e-mail made its way to Dr. Dumas' inbox, and he released it to the media, he said Wednesday, speaking to reporters and editors at the Times Free Press.
