The Knox County Board of Supervisors has placed Knox County Attorney Hanna Knox Jensen on suspension without pay for her position for one year, eliminated the position of Deputy County Attorney and discharged Chief Deputy Dan Henery and 911 Coordinator Heather Kienow via administrative action on August 27.
The action is immediate, and in a response to findings from a year-long investigation by Special Counsel into "courthouse security" that indicated closed sessions had been unknowingly listened to on a second microphone that was not known about.
A full report will be listed on the Knox County website and details will appear in this week's news.

The company owns or rents buildings in each of our communities to keep a local presence and operating business inside each community.
While often a challenge, it has been a tradition of the owners in each community for the last 20 years.
Mainly local, and some area and state news that matters to our readers and subscribers, operating local businesses that pay local taxes and support local causes, and local employees that live in the communities where they live, shop and work.

Experienced candidates are needed for writing, editing or pagination.

Alumni and people that love these communities, we want to provide you an opportunity to "move home" and live in your community - just like our owners were afforded.

Print publications are our focus, and each paper has its own website, social media (Facebook, X, YouTube) and E-Editions, all personalized to each community.
Join a team with a full time publisher/editor, graphic designers, and a number of support staff to write local stories for individual papers across the company and northeast Nebraska. Photographers welcome, graphic design helpful but not needed - equipment provided.

Candidate must be fluent with computers and general programs, cell, social media and associated products - can train.

Deadline driven, but flexible schedule is available. Evenings or willingness to carry a camera along to events are likely required. Parents with children are welcome.
