Night Out at Henry’s Bakery & Deli Attorney fees for seven retired deputies voted down By Mike Steely [email protected] An apparent mistake in calculating retirement pen- sion funds for Knox County employees has resulted in overpayments beyond what the county allows. Law Director Richard (Bud) Armstrong said he discovered the error, which has caused the overpayment of retir- ing sheriff’s office employees and costing taxpayers. He said the unauthorized increase was mistaken- ly calculated for the Pension and Retirement Board on the advice of highly paid outside counsel. As the law director moved to correct the calculation several retired deputies have objected to now receiving the correct amount of pension. Armstrong said that past pension board members were unaware of how the cal- culations were being done. He said he has complied with the request to bring action against the Pension Board and has filed suit on behalf of county taxpayers. Knox County At Large Commissioners Bob Thomas and Ed Brantley held a NIGHT OUT at Henry’s Bakery and Deli He said that since recent retirees from the sheriff’s on Tazewell Pike restaurant on Thursday, March 22.
