As the County Commission preps for the
upcoming fiscal year, there's a little house cleaning it needs to do,
namely getting rid of the non-existent Office of Legislative Affairs
in Knox County. (Did that even make sense?)
This was the one-person office that Patsy Miller ran for years.
When county Mayor Tim Burchett took office, it was one of the first
jobs he cut in the spring of 2011. (I believe Miller made about $50k
a year.) Tim essentially told members of the local Legislative
delegation (where he served for 16 years) to answer their owns
phones. Since most of them already did, there wasn't a lot of
heartburn.
No one ever bothered to appeal the
private act that created the office. That will happen in the next few
weeks. Not a big deal, really, but I figured like rambling.
