The Trump administration's decision to gut Americorps resulted in 52 Knoxville members losing their jobs. Scott takes a look at the impact to nonprofits in the area. He also reports on a rare tie-breaking vote Knoxville Mayor Indya Kincannon cast at City Council, the city and school system's budgets, the initial effect of the new stadium on Old City business activity and a "We the People" rally calling out Congressman Tim Burchett. Kincannon joins Scott this week to talk about her budget proposal, and Compass co-founder Jesse Fox Mayshark drops by to talk about his new media venture, The Progressive South. Scott also looks ahead to Knox County Mayor Glenn Jacobs' upcoming budget announcement, plus meetings of the School Board and the Knoxville-Knox County Planning Commission.
