Nine of the twelve "theoretically" term-limited county commissioners were renominated [1]. This, along with the pathetic 14% turnout, indicates that Knox Co. voters either a) couldn't care less about local government, or b) didn't really mean it when they said they wanted term limits, in which case they should call for a referendum and have them repealed. At any rate, it's no wonder the KNOXGOB machine is able to stay in business. As they say, people generally get the government they deserve.
