What to do about Bill Lockett; Introduction Knoxville
Broadcast Date: June 14, 2009
It was another eventful week concerning Knox County Law Director Bill Lockett.
On Tuesday, the disciplinary counsel for the state Board of Professional Responsibility filed a petition against Lockett. In the petition, greater details were revealed of Lockett's admission that he took money for legal services that should have gone to his now former law firm.
On Wednesday, Knox County Commission voted 16-1 to censure Lockett and called for his resignation. Commission also asked that all investigations regarding this matter be expedited.
Knox County Commissioners Bud Armstrong and Dave Wright join Gene Patterson to discuss what might come next.
Being a newcomer to Knoxville can sometimes be daunting. Even for those of us who've been around for a while, it often is confusing. But there is a solution. It's called Introduction Knoxville. Tammy White, president and CEO of Leadership Knoxville and Mike Cohen, chairman of Introduction Knoxville, tell how the program works.
Joining Gene for a final word are 6 News political analyst George Korda and Amy Nolan, editor of the Greater Knoxville Business Journal.
