History

Knox County was created on June 11, 1792 by Governor William Blount from parts of Greene and Hawkins counties. It is one of nine United States counties named for Revolutionary War general and first United States Secretary of War Henry Knox. Parts of Knox County later became Blount, Anderson, Roane, and Union counties between 1795 and 1850.

Law and government

Groups of city and county residents have tried unsuccessfully to form a consolidated city-county with Knoxville. Despite the defeat of consolidation when brought before the voters in a referendum, an important first step was taken in the early 1980s when Knoxville City Schools were absorbed into the Knox County School System under the leadership of Knox County School Superintendent Earl F. Hoffmeister. In American local government, a consolidated city-county, metropolitan municipality or regional municipality is a city and county that have been merged into one jurisdiction. ... Nickname: Location within the U.S. State of Tennessee. ...

The county administrator is called the County Mayor, formerly known as the County Executive. It is an elected position and Mike Ragsdale is the current county mayor. There is also an elected county commission. The county officials' districts do not overlap with the city of Knoxville, which has its own mayor and city council, as well as a separate police department.

In 1994, Knox County voters passed term limits on Knox County officeholders, including County Commission, Sheriff, Register of Deeds, the County Clerk, and the County Trustee’s office. Look up Sheriff in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. ... Recorder of deeds refers to the government office that maintains records of transfers of real estate, as well as many other public documents. ... The term county clerk has been commonly applied, in several English-speaking countries, to an influential employee of a county administration. ...

For thirteen years, these officeholders did not abide by term limits. On January 12, 2007, the Tennessee Supreme Court ruled the term limited officeholders would not be able to serve again once their terms expired. (source: Knoxville News Sentinel, “A Dozen Done,” January 13, 2007)

On January 31, 2007, the County Commission voted to appoint 12 replacements for these officeholders,^[1] but not in what many observers in Knoxville considered a forthright, public process. Appointees included relatives and associates of outgoing commissioners.^[2]

Some of the other activities that occurred during the January 31 commission meeting include:

• Outgoing commissioner Diane Jordan nominated her son, Josh to replace her, and voted for him. Two days after the appointment, it was revealed that Josh Jordan was an admitted drug dealer, in 1992.^[3] He had worked as a lawn mower before being county commissioner.
• Commissioner Mark Cawood's wife replaced him.
• Commissioner Billy Tindell was immediately appointed to the position of County Clerk.
  
• Commissioner Craig Leuthold's father, Frank, was appointed to represent his district.
• Commission chairman Scott "Scoobie" Moore nominated and successfully pushed through his campaign treasurer for a seat that was not in his district.
• Outgoing sheriff Tim Hutchison nominated his chief deputy, J. J. Jones, to replace him who then hired Hutchison back as his chief deputy.
• During this meeting, Knox County Mayor Mike Ragsdale allegedly had his aides try to convince commissioners to change their votes, raising accusations of the mayor's attempts to circumvent Tennessee's Open Meetings Law.^[4]
• The commissioners swore in one of the newly appointed commissioners, but not the other six newly appointed commissioners, to break a tie vote.
• Second District nominee Jonathan Wimmer said later that Commissioner Greg "Lumpy" Lambert asked him to vote for 4th District nominee Lee Tramel in exchange for a seat.^[5]

In an op-ed, Knoxville News-Sentinel columnist Sam Venable said "Boss Hogg, the king of corruption in the old 'Dukes of Hazzard' TV series, couldn't hold a flame to this group. He'd be way out of his league in Knoxville."^[6] and Knoxville News-Sentinel op-ed columnist Greg Johnson said this about the affair:^[7] An Op-Ed is a piece of writing expressing an opinion. ...
