UPDATE: 9:51 P.M. Brian’s Blog has been informed that Commissioner Ballard was advised that he must recuse himself on the mulch mediated settlement vote due to a “potential” conflict. If he would start speaking into the microphone all would be wonderful.
Original: 9:35 P.M. County Commissioner Phil Ballard of Knox County’s Eighth District recused himself of the mulch mediated settlement vote. In addition any and all roll call votes, Ballard is not speaking into his microphone and his votes are not being heard.
