The Knox County Commission is poised to take the first of two steps to narrow its options for placing public notices to a single publication run by a longtime Republican with close ties to local officials.
The change would limit the county to placing legally required public notices only in non-subscription based newspapers that are distributed locally. The notices are for items like upcoming public meetings, auction times, surplus property sales and solicitations for bids. It was lobbied for at last week s commission meeting by County Mayor Glenn Jacobs and Commissioner Kyle Ward and unanimously advanced by the commission.
