Knox County Commission admits to breaking the Sunshine Law
As a consequence of this debacle in our local government, Knox County Commissioners are under a court order not to violate the Sunshine Law again, under penalty of fines and possibly even jail time. Given the events of the last year and a half in this county, one would think they'd have sense enough not to discuss the public's business in private ever again.
One would be wrong:
Four Knox County commissioners admitted at tonight's monthly commission meeting that they've recently discussed matters in private that are directly related to county business in apparent violation of the state Open Meetings Act.
A fifth - former Chairman Scott Moore - declined to comment without consulting his attorney.
What the hell is wrong with these people?
