The TIF/PILOT audit that is resulting in a the News Sentinel receiving a past due bill has been a contract with a firm TMA in Mt. Juliet, TN. The Knox County contract was signed in December last year. Commissioner Scott Moore started working on the idea of a TIF/PILOT audit six months before that.

He was talking with the representative yesterday about the audit and the auditor said, well I have been told that you are no longer a Commissioner. So I don’t know what information that I can give you. Commissioner Moore said well, I am a Knox County citizen. Who told you that you shouldn’t be talking to me? The auditor named two countywide elected officials. (Brian’s Blog is embargoing the identities until a later date.)

Commissioner Moore will get the answers that he wants on Monday when the County Commission meets. He can and likely will address the auditor from the public podium during the Commission meeting.
