Happy Hour: Colorful Characters
- The four-day old baby who was kidnapped last week has finally been returned to his parents after being placed in state custody when DCS received reports that the parents were trying to sell him. The parents have been cleared of all allegations. [WKRN]
- 68 hard drives were stolen from the Blue Cross Blue Shield of Tennessee office in Chattanooga. They’re not sure yet if the drives contain any personal information. Though the burglary alarm went off on Friday night, authorities weren’t notified until yesterday morning. We assume we’ll be hearing more about this later. [WZTV]
- Governor Phil estimates that the proposed healthcare reform bill could cost our state as much as $1.2 billion over the next five years. [WTVF]
- Councilman Eric Crafton is introducing a charter amendment that would leave the convention center project up to the voters of Davidson County. Sounds like the chances of that passing are slim, but Councilman Crafton has never been one to give up easily. [Tennessean]

Bright & Early: Misty-Nosed Edition
Good morning, Nashville. We’re short on time this morning, so here’s an abbreviated Bright & Early:
- Memphis is flu-free. The first batches of the H1N1 vaccine began arriving in the state yesterday and were administered to healthcare workers in Memphis. The vaccine, which is actually a nasal spray called FluMist, should be hitting the rest of the state this week.
- Creative solutions. Cumberland County has generously offered to take some of the toxic coal ash from Kingston off of the TVA’s hands, hoping to pile it on top of a mountaintop mine that they currently consider an “environmental eyesore.” Members of the community are a little less gung-ho.
- Bits & pieces. The Uptown YMCA on Church Street (which is not the same as the Downtown YMCA on Church Street) will be closing at the end of November … Our former Senator Fred Thompson is rekindling his acting career with a role in Secretariat … The abducted baby case is officially going to court with allegations of child neglect and the intent to sell the child … Watch out for storms today.
