    Mr. Churck Bowers. I just read your article in the Powell/Karns
    Shopper-News. 1. Rescind the sheriff’s office pension. This was
    voted on by the voters and passed. Eliminate nepotism- yes it should be stopped BUT it has gone on for years. It just didn’t happen. PAUL PINKSTON was one of the commissioners guilty of
    VIOLATING THE “SUNSHINE LAW.” Maybe you could get Pinkston
    and Lumpy to vote to eliminate nepotism in all Knox Co. Depts. This all comes about because of the enforcement by the State of
    Tennessee of the “Sunshine Law” and Ragsdale was the leader of
    this. The “Sunshine Law” was passed by the voters many years ago and our elected officials IGNORED the “Sunshine Law” as though they were above it. It took Mike Ragsdale to clean it up
    and Pinkston and his cronies can’t get over it and go on with life.
    BE HONEST and work for the people who voted the politicians
    into office. Tommy Schumpert and Dwight Kessell had an expense allowance from the county. There will never be another
    Dwight Kessell, he really looked out for the taxpayers of Knoxville
    and Knox County. Sure, mistakes have been made and they should have to repay Knox Co. ASK PAUL PINKSTON how many relatives he has that are employed by Knox County. He has some…How many got large bonus under Hutchison administration? This was printed in the News-Sentinel a few
    mo’s ago. Pinkston’s relative was one who got a large bonus.
    THE END.

    I believe you have gotten part of the above wrong which was
    posted by Katie Allison. I do not remember writing anything about rescinding the Sheriff’s office pension. I keep copies of
    what I write in my computer.
    I AM ASKING YOU TO REMOVE THE LETTER, A REPLY TO CHUCK
    BOWERS. HIS NAME IS MISSPELLED IN YOUR ARTICE. I HAVE NOT GIVEN YOU PERMISSION TO PRINT THIS. I ONLY WRITE TO
    THE NEWS-SENTINEL AND I DON’T BELIEVE THEY GAVE YOU PERMISSION TO PUT THIS ON LINE EITHER.
    PLEASE DELETE THE LETTER YOU HAVE ON CHUCK BOWERS.
    LOLA HECK

    Katie Allison Granju and Chuck Bowers.
    I have a copy of the letter I sent to Powell/Karns Shopper News.
    I HAVE NEVER WRITTEN ANYTHING ABOUT “RESCENDING THE SHERIFF’S OFFICE PENSION.” I did write about the wheel tax law which was passed by the voters. I DO NOT CONSIDER MYSELF ONE OF KNOXVILLES SILENT MAJORITY. IF YOU CAN’T PRINT THE “TRUTH” YOU SHOULDN’T PRINT ANYTHING. CORRECT YOUR MISTAKE IF YOU HAVE THE “GUTS” TO DO SO.
    I SUPPORT THE SHERIFF’S OFFICE AND THINK THEY ARE UNDERPAID AND SHOULD HAVE THE BEST COVERAGE AS THEY
    PUT THEIR LIFE ON THE LINE EVERY DAY.
    IF YOU WOULD LIKE MY OPINION OF YOU AND MR. BOWERS, I THINK YOU BOTH ARE PROBABLY JUST “TROUBLE MAKERS.”
    LOLA HECK
