Hearings are set to get underway today on whether the Knox County Charter is invalid and/or whether term limits are legal and who they apply to. The Knoxville News Sentinel has this report. It doesn't appear this will get resolved in time to prepare a proper ballot for an August 3 election.

"It doesn't appear this will get resolved in time to prepare a proper ballot for an August 3 election."
Shocked! Shocked, I tell you...Who would ever have thought such a thing.
