Some local stuff of significance
Shurf Tim was found guilty of contempt of court:
A state appellate court ruled Tuesday that Knox County Sheriff Tim Hutchison was guilty of lying in response to a request for public records.
Knox County taxpayers should not foot the bill for Hutchison’s convictions for criminal contempt, the court ruled. Instead, the sheriff should pay the $300 fine for six criminal contempt convictions out of his own pocket, the court ruled.
Good news, four were arrested in connection with the murder of a local woman who was killed when someone tossed a large rock from an overpass.
The Knoxville Police Department has some new rides, Impalas.
School solution: cut programs. After all, that wheel tax has to cover important things, like an expensive new library that nobody will use.

So, we can impeach him now, right? He has to resign in disgrace, right? Can’t let a convicted criminal continue as County Sheriff, right?
Right?
*sigh*

I suppose you could, i’m in blount county. I recall reading the story of a sheriff who was elected but couldn’t carry/own a gun because he was a felon who served a couple years in jail. But the locals elected him anyway.

Most of those who say the downtown library won’t be used … don’t use the downtown library.
I live in North Knox and have used Lawson-McGhee from time to time at various times/days. It’s been heavily used whenever I have been there.

That’s good, james. I just don’t know anyone who does. I hope you’re right.
