The University of Tennessee is entering into a $240 million public-private development partnership to build new dormitories. Scott and Jesse talk about that innovative deal and its repercussions on the podcast this week, along with Knox County's unsustainable ambulance contract, a City Council candidate forum, the start of early voting in the city elections and Rep. Tim Burchett's part in the ongoing speaker drama in the House of Representatives. The guys also answer a reader question about the redevelopment of the former Austin Homes public housing complex, and look ahead to meetings next week of County Commission, the school board and the always-exciting Growth Policy Coordinating Committee.
