Sources from inside the Knox County Trustee office have informed me that Knox County Trustee Fred Sisk has announced the closing of the Five Points satellite office. With the closing of the Five Points office, Former Commissioner Diane Jordan one of the satellite office employees position was eliminated along with four other employees. Sisk indicated that this was a cost cutting measure to return productive results with a tough economy. Sisk, chose not to run for election this year. His term ends August 31, 2010.

John Duncan III was successful in Tuesday’s Republican Primary as he was unopposed. He is also unopposed in the August 5, 2010 General Election. So, on September 1, 2010, John Duncan III will become our new Knox County Trustee.
