County to get $120,000 windfall

The county will get back a little more than expected under a rebate program it has with Sun Trust Bank. 

Officials initially budgeted for about $200,000 (the county got $210,045 last year) but now folks say it should receive between $318,000 and $319,000. The windfall will more than likely go toward paying off debt, if Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett has anything to say about it.

Under the P-card program the county gets a percentage back – about 1 percent – from the bank.
