Knoxville lost a civil rights leader and invaluable community resource last week with the death of Bob Booker. Scott and Jesse kick off this week's episode with a remembrance and appreciation of Booker, who after a career of activism and government service became the de facto voice of local Black history. Also: As the March 5 primary approaches, they look at early vote #s and zoom in on County Commission primaries in District 1 and an interesting school board race in District 8; City Council decides to leave most auxiliary dwelling unit restrictions in place; County Mayor Glenn Jacobs visits the Southern border; and Knox County Schools gets mostly good news from the state. They also look ahead to meetings this week of County Commission and the Sports Authority, and the final days of early voting.
