Knox County Commissioner's Larry Clark and Paul Pinkston actually formed a citizens group to go through the resumes of all 17 candidates. The panel was to submit three finalists for the Commissioner's to choose from. The three name were not released, but Tim Greene was the selected nominee. The criticism that has come out of South Knox was that Greene had not made his Resume public prior to being selected on Tuesday.

The vote was Greene 17 and Pleasant 1. "The Good Guest" was not on the ballot, as it was perceived to not be an individual.
County Commissioner Tim Greene replaces Larry Clark. Commissioner Clark has been an excellent Commissioner and will be missed.
Mike Wyland's nomination of "The Good Guest" might prove to be the best of the day.
