Covenant mom Melissa Alexander has one message for Gov. Bill Lee: Veto arming teachers. She said she is not the only family with a child who survived The Covenant School mass shooting who feels this way. More from her below. newschannel5.com/news/covenant-…
Just had a chance to ask Lt. Gov. McNally about this and why he voted against it. Said he spoke with the AG who said it was unconstitutional and then left with a zinger. Exact quote: “I’m tired of giving money to the ACLU.” @WKRN #TNLeg24
Tennessee AG says @GovBillLee has 'unchecked authority' to name education commissioner. pro.stateaffairs.com/tn/education/e…
Ready for sine die. Any day hour now would be nice.
BREAKING: Millersville commissioners just voted to make police chief Bryan Morris the interim city manager…replacing Tina Tobin who was also interim. Morris will work both jobs while the city searches for a permanent city manager. Hear from Morris tonight on @NC5 at 10.

We are going to miss you, Chris! We can’t wait to FOIA your emails.
News 2 Capitol Hill Reporter Chris O’Brien leaves us today after terrific work during the last several Legislative Sessions. Chris will be missed as he begins his new job with the State. Best of luck on the new chapter.
There aren’t many things that will get bipartisan support and universal applause in the state house — but I’m so glad this did. Joe Gregory is a kind man and a great photojournalist.
Tennessee AG says @GovBillLee has 'unchecked authority' to name education commissioner. pro.stateaffairs.com/tn/education/e…
Reminder that the state gave @Oracle an ECD FastTrack grant of $65 million to incentivize 5,989 jobs in Davidson Co. tn.gov/transparenttn/…
@Kreager Why would you make me think about this at this hour?
Tuesday tip: Don't be like Chris. Chris, do better. A lot better.
House votes Rep. Jones violates House rules by recording on the floor. Republican Rep. Moon avoids rules violation of recording.
These are the odd dynamics on Tennessee's Capitol Hill. Rep. Justin Jones brought @Kanew with him to record my interview. There was another convo w/o Kanew's camera. Jones has his story. Others - including some in his own party - have their own views. More Wednesday on @NC5.
MUST-WATCH: “It’s wrong. And racist. That’s what we deal with every day here—the idea that it’s more offensive to call out racism than act in racist ways is wrong.” @brotherjones_ speaks powerfully to @NC5PhilWilliams about being the youngest Black man in the TN legislature.
BREAKING: Millersville commissioners just voted to make police chief Bryan Morris the interim city manager…replacing Tina Tobin who was also interim. Morris will work both jobs while the city searches for a permanent city manager. Hear from Morris tonight on @NC5 at 10.
In short: the House will vote on this tomorrow.
Rep. Williams puts arming teachers bill on next calendar.
For those keeping score at home: this conference committee meeting on F&E lasted 14 minutes and 57 seconds, gavel to gavel.
@SenJohnson @WilliamLamberth We’re adjourning with no progress made on Franchise & Excise. They will announce when or if they reconvene.
ICYMI, always be prepared for @Vivian_E_Jones to come for your public records
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…
Covering the Tennessee legislature these days has to be what it's like working in a preschool - except the inhabitants are not nearly as lovable. 🤪
