the rest of the crowd while Buuck talks
Allen talked about crime and the various departments that she has created. She discussed the court activities of 2020 and 2021, the TN Supreme Court closed all courts in the state “The Tennessee Supreme Court offered the courts to remain open during the pandemic but restricted in-person matters to limited cases & left the determination to the judges”, during the pandemic. However, the courts while slower, still made progress in keeping the wheels of justice moving along.
District Attorney Allen
Buuck talked about his department of 10 Attorneys and that they represent the county government in suits that are brought against the county. He was not able to discuss the recent Federal Judge order on the Knox County Schools mask mandate.
