Last week, Knoxville City Council approved putting a sales tax referendum on the November election ballot. In this installment of the podcast, Scott analyzed voters' choices. He also looks at Knox County Commission's approval of a new management structure for Richard L. Bean Juvenile Service Center, including a partisan tussle about oversight. Other topics include the emergence of YES! Knoxville as a voice in city land-use issues, legal challenges to two Tennessee immigration-related laws and the University of Tennessee's plan to expand into Maplehurst.
