As candidates for Knox County Elective Offices began picking up nominating petitions on Friday. We decided to research the appointment of Treasurer status and report our findings.

The law allows a candidate to appoint themselves as Treasurer and the following candidates have done just that.

Fred Sisk, Trustee

The following candidates have appointed close family relatives.

Foster Arnett, County Clerk appointed Stephen Arnett

Sam McKenzie, First District Commissioner appointed someone identified as Sam McK.(wonder if Greg MacKae will research this one?)The signatures appear to both belong to Samue

Michele Carringer, Seventh District Commissioner appointed her Mother Irene McCrary.
