Bright & Early: The Dog Days Edition

Good morning, Nashville. Times are tough for the folks working (or who used to work?) at the DPL Corporation, a packaging and shipping company up in Clarksville. After allegedly skipping out on paying some employees for over a month, the company started doling out pink slips instead of paychecks when workers came to pick them up yesterday. Unfortunately, this seems to be a pattern all over Tennessee.

***Correction: Says commenter Sarah, “Steve Henley is scheduled to be executed at 1 AM tomorrow morning – he has not been executed yet. If anyone wants to call the governor to ask for clemency for him, the number is 741-2001.”

  • @Sarah and@cranky - You're right. I guess that's what I get for writing a post at 3am? About to post the correction.

    "Tennessee executed its first criminal since 2007 at 1 o’clock this morning after a rapid-fire court battle by activists to have the execution stayed."

    Um, not quite. The execution is scheduled for tomorrow morning.
  • Great, now I want some rolls from Logans. Thanks a lot.
