Bright & Early: Fish Out Of Water Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Here’s what’s going on around town: Governor Haslam and Amazon continue to do the will-they-won’t-they dance around the whole question over whether or not Amazon will have to charge state sales tax once they open up their planned Tennessee distribution centers. [Tennessean] The Titans want Chris Johnson so badly that they say [...]
Bright & Early: A Bug’s Life Edition
Good morning, Nashville. We’re running behind this morning, so you know the drill. Here’s your abbreviated Bright & Early: For the 13th straight month, Tennessee’s sales tax revenues have shown some pretty significant growth. We’re also about $126 million ahead of sales tax revenue projections for this fiscal year, which ends in June. [WTVF] Way [...]
Happy Hour: All Fenced In
Don’t forget- CMA Awards tonight! Street closures here.

We would like to also point out [...]

Happy Hour: Not-So-Cyber Monday
Tennessee would like to remind you that you can’t use that whole Cyber Monday thing to avoid state sales tax. Even if the site doesn’t charge you anything up front, you’re still supposed to e-file. [WTVF] Our neighbors to the north in Kentucky are getting a brand new country-ish music festival next summer called HullabaLOU. [...]
Happy Hour: It’s All A Blur
Congratulations, Tennessee: We officially have the highest sales tax in the country. [Post Politics] And hopefully y’all weren’t too excited about that Def Leppard show that just got canceled. [Tennessean] But the good news is that the “civilized world” is enjoying the heck out of our fried chicken these days. [Nashville Scene] A recent poll [...]
