KNS: Knox Ethics Committee wants more power to investigate complaints [1]

Some members of the Knox County Ethics Committee want more power to investigate complaints against county employees and elected officials.

"A citizen doesn't have power to conduct an investigation and neither do we," committee member Mike Duncan said. "We need an ethics committee with some teeth."

Blount isn't the only county struggling to figure out how this is supposed to work. The state should probably step up and make some minor repairs to the newly enacted ethics laws.
