Greene County General Sessions Judge Kenneth Bailey Jr. once again asked Greene County Commission's Budget and Finance Committee for a second judge in the county, The Greeneville Sun reports. Bailey said last year that General Sessions Court saw 22,548 cases, a dramatic increase from previous years. "We are the largest county in population with one Sessions judge, with one person doing what I do," Bailey said. He suggested the implementation of a $15 litigation tax increase to fund the salary of an additional judge.
