What's It Pay?

It is election time and it's fair to know what our elected officials receive for their efforts.

Being an elected official in Lenoir City can be very lucrative. At the same time city officials are taxing city residents mercilessly, they're living pretty large off the tax payers and Lenoir City Utility Board, LCUB, rate payers. Below is the pay and benefits for Lenoir City officials then below that are the Loudon City officials.

Lenoir City officials get to double dip since the mayor and council also serve as the LCUB board.

There are two Knox County representatives on the LCUB board per an agreement from several years ago, There are also two board members who represent the former Martel Utility District. Those two do not participate in the LCUB board actions.
