Knox County Commisssion

The Knox County Commission yesterday moved to earmark the 40 million dollars for a downtown library to schools. Good decision. That does not mean that the School Board has 65 million this year or 165 million over 5 years. The Knox County Commission will maintain control over the 40 million, and should determine what project/s the 40 million will be used for , after a successful wheel tax refrendum. Great decision. After all the Knox County Mayor funded the 5-year Capital Plan for the School System in full.
