Knoxville Mayor Indya Kincannon has proposed raising the sales tax rate to fund infrastructure and affordable housing efforts. Scott reviews the proposal, which would require voter approval in a referendum, in this week's installment. He also talks about the County Commission's spirited discussion surrounding Knox County Mayor Glenn Jacobs' budget (which passed) and a new rule for the Commission chair's speech outside of meetings, an acceleration of book removals from school libraries, and more. Cortney Piper, a parent and advocate for students with disabilities, joins Scott for a discussion of a recent report on special education in Knox County Schools. Finally, he looks ahead to Knoxville City Council's upcoming vote on Mayor Indya Kincannon's budget for 2025-26 and a City Council workshop on the sales tax proposal.
