This letter to the editor in today’s Knoxville News Sentinel from former County Commissioner Frank Leuthold in support of former Knox County Library Director Larry Frank. This is the same Larry Frank that reduced the hours of operation of the branch libraries but did not reduce the hours of the employees. Meaning that the citizens were locked out. The same Larry Frank that advocated that the federal government “give” Knox County a building for the downtown library. The same Larry Frank that has built, operated and maintained more library branches per capita than any other library system in the country. Frank’s actions were that of a liberal that believed more taxpayer dollars were the answer, not adequate service based on sound business principles. It could be that Leuthold was thinking with hurt feelings, that neither Mayor bothered to ask him for his opinion. It could be they already knew his view.
