County Commission deferred action on Mark Harmon's KNS lawsuit settlement proposal and on hearing any Tyler Harber debate. But according to Scott Barker at the KNS, there was this interesting development:

Commissioners voted unanimously to approve an expanded ethics committee to handle conflict of interest complaints.

Moore and Knox County Mayor Mike Ragsdale worked out the structure of the committee over the weekend.

Committee members will be Hammond, Pinkston, Kim Waller, Knox County Sheriff’s Office Mike Duncan, Frank Shanklin Sr., former County Executive Tommy Schumpert, the Rev. Ron Stewart, the Rev. Clarence Sexton and Criminal Court Clerk Martha Phillips.

Ragsdale's original nominees (rejected by the first County Commission vote) were Phil Ballard, Mike Hammond, Mark Harmon, R. Larry Smith, and Martha Phillips.

Temple Baptist/Crown College?

I didn't catch this yesterday--commission has added to the Ethics Committee an appointee from my 6th district (Powell/Karns), Rev. Clarence Sexton, who is pastor to Temple Baptist Church/Crown College. You likely know his extreme (sometimes newsworthy) fundamentalism.

I could have chosed one among several other ministers more preferable to me...
