No one is trying to copyright this shooter's manifesto, with a county executive saying: "it would be worth our while to figure out when could we have known and when we should have possibly intervened"

New records obtained by @Tennessean show the majority of $1.5B in franchise tax refunds, if approved, would flow out of state. Conference committee on the bill meets today at 10am. tennessean.com/story/news/pol…
Journalists, avg. Americans & others seeking govt records in public interest are more likely to be denied than for-profit requesters, @DavidCuillier & @ajaywagner found. brechner.org/2024/04/16/stu… @FOIoklahoma @spj_tweets
Over in the Senate, members passed the Autopsy Bill, which prevents child autopsy reports from being public records that can be requested without parental permission (unless the parent is a suspect.) However — there was a compromise brokered that allows for in person inspection.
Those affiliated with Covenant don't want any of the writings public, and in a new twist, have declared the writings from the shooter now belong to them and are copywritten documents. newschannel5.com/news/judge-tak…
The divide over the Franchise and Excise Tax continues between the House and Senate. The Senate refused to receive the House version of F&E. Sounds like the sticking points are over transparency on the businesses receiving a refund and how much money is made available. @NC5
The story on the Covenant shooting records hearing is in its final form for the day. Here it is, in a more readable format. @Tennessean tennessean.com/story/news/loc…
Lead exposure in Memphis children is so important to address. Glad to see sunlight on this issue. When you understand its effects, you realize how important it is to address.

New. For a year and a half the @knoxsheriff told the DA’s office video footage of an armed raid and day-long investigation didn’t exist. It did. So, if they withhold video from the DA what chance do you have? There’s no oversight function. knoxnews.com/story/news/cri…
Absurd quote from a Vanderbilt — a school with a First Amendment center — police officer: “If you come to Vanderbilt property or the hospital without a legitimate reason, you are subject to arrest... Doing a news report is not a legitimate reason." nashvillescene.com/news/pithinthe…
Reporters are now expected to check in with VU Comms before coming on campus so they can "understand what you are coming to cover." Vanderbilt is a 330-acre campus in the heart of Nashville with public streets throughout. This is not a press box.

The fact other states include public taxpayer incentive information in ECD business announcements just highlights the lack of transparency from @TNECD on those announcements. Posting the info to a database 30 days later when you have the info right away is not transparent.
We are going to miss you, Chris! We can’t wait to FOIA your emails.

Rep. Andrew Farmer says “we are not Washington, D.C. We are smart with our money in Tennessee” as House votes to allow Dept of Tourism to keep Super Bowl and mega-contracts hidden for up to 10 years.
Why does the Tenn. tourism department want to potentially close off public access to any records it sees as confidential right before officials bid to host an NFL Super Bowl? The last time a contract leaked, it created bad PR for the NFL and politicians. tennesseelookout.com/2024/02/29/ten…
@TNOpenGovt I do not. We (the press corps) will surely ask a litany of Q's when the governor has his next media availability (he has none this week)!
