MOUNT VERNON — It took an intense meeting and some additional end-of-the-day wrangling, but the Knox County Commissioners and Sheriff David Barber finally hammered out an agreement on a budget reduction for the sheriff’s office. The agreement leaves the sheriff short of the amount requested in order to balance a shortfall in the county’s general fund, but gives the county a possible way to make up the additional funds. Though the agreement includes furlough days, it averted layoffs which would have weakened the sheriff’s office and left the county in the perilous shape other area counties have reached.
