The occasion?
Vitamin “sea” will cure what ails you.
Gov. Bill Lee is now in a diminished posture, a regrettable, wounded figure as the month of May approaches.“ So much for TN’s ‘strong executive’ tradition. And now, he has signed that ridiculous “arm the teachers” bill into law. Now, it’s HIS legacy. keelhunt.substack.com/p/the-humbling…

Nashville and Chattanooga school administrations have removed themselves from this reckless, oddball response to gun violence in schools from Tennessee’s timid Capitol Hill. The spotlight is shining on whether Bill Lee will ever pick up his veto pen. timesfreepress.com/news/2024/apr/…
Nashville won't be arming teachers! Official response from MNPS: We have a strong relationship with MNPD, and we agree that it is best and safest for only approved active-duty law enforcement to carry weapons on campus, which has been our consistent practice at MNPS.
Who’s in charge up there anymore?
Gov. Lee’s administration is quick to announce rosy wins with the CEOs of relocating businesses, but this drumbeat from Capitol Hill sends a different message to their rank-and-file: Your children may not be safe here. Who’s in charge? apnews.com/article/guns-t… @JonathanMattise

Arming teachers in schools. This may rank as the all time worst bill ever to pass the Tennessee House of Representatives.
If @GovBillLee wont answer the question of whether he personally benefits, the logical answer is YES. If he wasn’t going to personally benefit, there’d be no reason for him not to say so and would even be politically advantageous for him to point it out.

2/2: This also reveals two political separations within TN’s Republican regime, which usually enforces its solidarity. Bill Lee remains rigid on “the Lee Company question” while Speaker Sexton insists “transparency” is make-or-break issue for the House. tennessean.com/story/news/pol…

A live look at the public side of negotiations over the franchise tax.
Who’s in charge up there anymore?
Looks like the conference committee on the franchise tax won't happen at 9 a.m. because it conflicts with the House floor session scheduled to start at the same time.

What is most disappointing is the time wasted not engaged in actually helping public schools succeed
144 million price tag, yet -Only 4k available seats in private schools statewide -Vouchers that would likely go to those already in private schools. -Funding schools that would not serve all students -Educational “freedom” that already exists nashvillescene.com/news/pithinthe…

On this day 30 years ago, Terrance Murray, 13, was fatally shot in a John Trotwood Moore Middle School classroom. A student behind him was handling a pistol when it went off. IN MEMORY OF TERRANCE, please tell kids you know of the fateful consequences of gunplay & gun violence.
Our constitutionally impoverished congressman labors under the delusion that the Second Amendment confers a right to sell weapons to anyone and everyone. Maybe spend less time parroting screwy gun lobby press releases and more time learning a little constitutional law.
This is a new front in President Biden’s war on the Second Amendment.
They have the governor’s office, supermajorities in two chambers, and more money than God behind them. It’s worth reflecting on how stupid they had to be to blow it on vouchers this year. They can’t govern.
