Here is the Chancery Court opinion that has the Knox County Charter and 1994 Term Limits Ammendment ruled ineffective and invalid.
Pending an appeal and any stay, Knox County will now abide by the Tennessee state law method of governace.
The state law provides for a level of compensation for County Commissioners. The Home Rule Charter provides that School Board members be compensated at the identical level of County Commissioners. The state law does not provide that School Board members be compensated. My sources indicate that it would be reasonable to assume that monthly compensation for school board members may cease.
There will be many questions that arise about any Ordiance that has been passed since the "implementation" of the Home Rule Charter.

What about the property taxes or increases paid, what about the wheel tax, what about people who have tied the knot in that time, what about this past election?
