I figured Tyree was a puppet. The Butchers would’ve been stupid (from a business perspective) not to hedge their bets. Tyree was not much of an opponent for Alexander as it turned out. I was never terribly enamored of Alexander, and I’d vote for anyone running against him in the primary. I personally hope he retires next year. President Fred can make him Ambassador to Botswana. We’ve had far too many grab-the-ankles Republicans in this state.

Tyree's last political venture was running for sheriff of Knox County last election. He lost to a three term sheriff who was unseated recently by a court ruling concerning the County Charter and term limits. Tim Hutchinson won a fourth term which was a first in Knox County. He was also the best one elected in many years. A court ruling unseated him and several county commissioners. Tyree did not challange the seat and a deputy took over as sheriff.
