Bright & Early: Mountains And Molehills Edition
Good morning, Nashville. A quick tour of this morning’s headlines: Davidson County Clerk John Arriola is likely breathing a sigh of relief this morning as the Metro Council deferred a bill calling for his resignation at last night’s meeting. The bill wouldn’t actually require him to take any action, but his office is already under [...]

Good news for the droves of people flocking to the county clerk to get married on Valentine’s Day! Since it’s on a Saturday this year, everyone was afraid they’d be closed. But fortunately they’ll be keeping their doors open, marrying folks from 9am-3pm in St. Valentine’s Chapel of Love, handing out commemorative Valentine’s Day marriage [...]
