This week, Scott and Jesse talk development and planning with attorney Benjamin Mullins, who often represents developers at Planning Commission. They also discuss the county's delay-plagued ambulance service, the un-endorsement of state Sen. Richard Briggs by Tennessee Right to Life, and news on the historic preservation front.

In the Q&A portion, they answer a reader's question about the City of Knoxville's African American Equity Restoration Task Force. And they look ahead to next week's County Commission meeting and the holiday break.
