It is all on Dr. Buchanan…….. it seems.

The Knox County Commission Work Session was Monday. Commissioner Kyle Ward’s latest Ordinance change that will make the Board of Health an Advisory Board and all Regulations will be the sole responsibility of Dr. Martha Buchanan appears to have a Super Majority support among Commissioners.

Eight of the Eleven cast a non binding vote of support last night for the Ordinance change. The first real vote is Monday December 21 and a second final vote before sending it to the Mayor will be at the January meeting.

Poor ole Larsen Jay was grasping at straws last night, confusing the other ordinance on the agenda for this one, the second Ordinance by state law requires a 2/3rds vote at the second vote. Knox County Law Director David Buuck corrected him. Then Jay got argumentative with Buuck and the Law Director fired back saying you are trying to give me legal advice.

Frustration carried on for the remainder of the meeting. Commissioner Randy Smith (one of the longest serving Commissioners on the Commission) made a motion and got cut off, someone made a point it should be a motion to send without recommendation, Smith said that is what I was saying, Jay shot back with I didn’t hear you, RELAX.

There are other blog worthy stories from last night. They will be up later, so come on back.
