State Rep. Gloria Johnson's campaign for Senate is the talk of the state — and of the podcast! Scott and Jesse look at the uphill battle Johnson faces and the political logic of her run. They also talk about the school board's assorted actions on special education this week, including a somewhat controversial plan to contract for services; studies of downtown parking and the South Waterfront; and the University of Tennessee's plans to attract more top Tennessee students. In the Q&A section, they look at the future of the problematic Fort Loudon Waste Recycling site in North Knoxville. Looking ahead to next week, they preview a meeting of the Planning Commission — and a special Compass happy hour! Compassknox.com
