Commissioners Ed and Bob to host public meeting, eat tons of pizza

I got a chuckle out of this one. As is typically the case, whenever two Knox County commissioners meet to talk, hang out, go fishing, whatever, they send out a Sunshine notice, letting the media and public know that they are welcome to attend.

You know, just in case they talk about government stuff.

Anyhoo, commissioners Ed Brantley and Bob Thomas will host a community meeting on Feb. 18 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Halftime Pizza and Grill on Emory Road in Powell.

In the notice, the two said they plan to "meet the people of Knox County and listen to their concerns."

The note ends with the following:

"This is not a commission meeting. There is no agenda. There will be no votes taken; however lots of pizza will be consumed during the two hours."

And yes, it's open to the public. Now word on whether Bob and Ed are picking up the tab.
