Sources in and around the City County Building report that Foster Arnett authorized a party during business hours in the taxpayer’s offices. It seems that Carolyn Heiskell, his Chief Deputy has unexpectedly decided to retire.

So, Foster got on the phone and invited friends, family and his County Clerk Cronies to come and eat cake and celebrate Carolyn’s retirement.

Carolyn is a good person. She campaigned vigorously for Arnett. She told untold numbers of people how she had worked for 5 Knox County Clerk’s and how she wanted Foster to be her next boss. It seems that from 9-1-2008 to 11-26-2008 as his Chief Deputy she has decided enough was enough. Time to go home and spend time with the husband and grand kids.

That Foster Arnett evidently ain’t what he was cracked up to be.

Carolyn, you did good. Thank you for your years of service and 2010 ain’t that far away to correct the problems and mistakes of 2008.
