More Questions about Conduct of Ragsdale’s Office; New Hospital for St. Mary's

When Knox County commissioners meet Monday, a number of commissioners are expected to raise more questions about the conduct of Mayor Mike Ragsdale’s office. They will also likely discuss a proposal by Knox County Law Director John Owings. Owings has recommended a do-over of the January appointments of 12 county officials. He makes the recommendation to commissioners in response to a lawsuit by the Knoxville News Sentinel that challenges the legality of the appointments.

Then 6 News political analyst George Korda talks about a letter from Mayor Ragsdale to county commissioners that Korda considers rather remarkable.

In the Final Word, Craig Griffith of St. Mary’s Hospital explains why Knoxville needs a new hospital.
