city council elections

Halfway through early voting for City of Knoxville elections, turnout remains low. Scott and Jesse talk about why that is, and they also look at a push to regulate short-term rentals in Knox County, the Knoxville Utilities Board's report on recovering from storm damage, requests from the city and county for state mental health funding, and some political wrangling on the county's Merit System Board. They also answer a reader question about conflicts of interest for elected officials, and they look ahead to next week's special session of the state Legislature, along with meetings of City Council, County Commission and the Sports Authority.

This week Scott and Jesse talk to Ellie Kittrell of United Way of Greater Knoxville about the new Bright Steps effort to improve early childhood learning. Also: updates on the Legislature's drag show, gender care and abortion bills, plus an effort by two local legislators to change Knoxville City Council elections.
Plus, UT's three new colleges, and a look ahead to next week's meetings of the Knox County school board and City Council.
