Bright & Early: Get Real Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Over the weekend, a vandal struck the Tennessee State Capitol building and spraypainted messages along the outside walls and sidewalks. The messages said things like “Get out,” “RIP Tony Al” and “Welcome to the jungle,” along with some anarchy signs. Police weren’t able to identify the person from security tapes, though they [...]
Bright & Early: In Plane Sight Edition
Good morning, Nashville. The death toll for this week’s storms has grown to at least 290 across six states, including 206 in Alabama alone, and many people are still missing.

Good morning, Nashville. After a few weeks of uncertainty, Sheriff Daron Hall has decided that Nashville’s 287(g) immigration enforcement (ICE) program is probably here to stay. A new federal revision would’ve required that detainee records remain inaccessible to the public, which would be a violation of Tennessee state law. Nashville’s Sheriff’s Office has submitted that [...]
Bright & Early: Partytime Edition
Good morning, Nashville. The sun is out, it might not even reach 90 degrees today, and it sounds like a perfect day for… another tea party? You may recall the one that drew a few thousand people back in April, and this one will probably attract some of the same folks. The place is Legislative [...]
Happy Hour: It’s All About GM
Let’s start with the good news, since this is Happy Hour: Though Tennessee’s unemployment rate almost hit 10% last month, Williamson County had a net gain of 800 jobs. [WKRN] Lamar Alexander says “There is no reason why the new GM cannot build cars and trucks at Spring Hill” and he doesn’t expect the GM [...]
Bright & Early: Here’s A Llama, There’s A Llama Edition
Good morning, Nashville. In case you didn’t catch Governor Phil’s budget talk last night (it’s okay, we didn’t either), he announced a few pretty-big-but-predictable changes that will be happening over the next few years and will hopefully make the state a little less broke than we are right now. Overall, he wants to scale back [...]
