From the South Knox Seymour Times:
"Ninth District County Commissioners Paul Pinkston and Larry Clark have formed a special committee to seek individuals interested in replacing Clark for his seat on the Commission.
The seven-member body will examine the qualifications and interest of those who wish to replace Clark, who will be forced to resign his seat under a term-limits referendum passed by voters in 1994."

Serving on the committee are
Serving on the committee are retired physician Bruce E. Walker, a 70-year-old Republican; retired educator Julia M. Tucker; criminal investigator Martin E. Cagle, a 73-year-old Democrat; semi-retired real estate and building professional William H. “Bill” Berrier, a 69-year-old Republican; retired advertising professional Richard C. Parker, a 73-year-old Republican; retired house manager for the John Tarleton Home for Children Jan Steffen, a 68-year-old Republican; and retired 32-year veteran of the banking industry Carroll Ailshie, a 69-year-old Republican.
I only know one of these people, but I'm sure they are all fine folks. But geez, do Clark and Pinkston not know one single person in South Knox County under the age of 65???
And it would be interesting to know how many live in the City. Some of these folks well might do so, but I recognize no names from the leadership of City neighborhood organizations.
“The people do have input
“The people do have input into this process,” said Ninth District County Commissioner Paul Pinkston in remarks to the legislative body, “because they elected us.”
I swear, if I hear another commissioner say that somebody is going to get kicked in the nuts.
