MKS reports the committee has determined term limits apply to Knoxville. [1] Knoxnews [2]:

Term limits stand as they were passed in 1994, and they apply to all elected officials with the exception of judges. That’s the conclusion today of a committee established to fix deficiencies that a Knox County chancellor found in the county charter. After a three-hour meeting, the committee voted to adhere to the term limits provision passed overwhelmingly by voters in 1994.

Giggle. Bad week for incumbents.
