Episode Details

The Town of Farragut completed a 180-degree turn on the Knox County growth plan last week, voting to approve changes proposed by County Mayor Glenn Jacobs just two weeks after first rejecting them. That sets the stage for updating the county's entire planning system, and it leads off this week's episode. Scott and Jesse also talk about Knox County Schools' proposed budget increase for next year, and the state Legislature's moves on internet age verification and arming classroom teachers. In the interview segment, they talk with Rev. Dr. Jacquelyn Bragg, co-president of Justice Knox, about the interdenominational group's meeting this week on homelessness and other social justice issues. The guys also look ahead to meetings this week of County Commission and Knoxville City Council.
