Proposal: Remove 4% sales tax on milk, eggs and bread

(The Center Square) – Removing the 4% state sales tax on bread, milk and eggs is in a proposal from Tennessee House Speaker Cameron Sexton. The bill, cosponsored by House Republicans William Lamberth of Portland and Tim Hicks of Gray, does not include a fiscal note indicating how the bill would affect tax collections, according to the General Assembly's website. If it passes the General Assembly and is signed by the governor, it would take effect on July 1, 2027, according to the bill. Local sales tax, up to 2.75%, can be added to the state levy. Depending on the county or city, the total tax is 5.5% to 6.75%. Tennessee gets roughly $800 million in revenue from the state tax, according to state finance records. Sexton told The Center Square in an interview Oct. 27, before the bill was filed, that grocery taxes would be one of the issues lawmakers consider when they convene the 2027 legislative session. "We'll look at the grocery sales tax, maybe reduce it on some items like food staples and so forth or eliminate it altogether, continue to make our state attractive, continue investing in public education," Sexton said. "I am sure there will

What’s New & What’s Next Downtown, Part 1: Restaurants & Retail

Downtown Knoxville has been keeping busy, and I’ve got a massive backlog of openings, announcements and developments to prove it. Time for a catch-up! Last week I again joined Compass Knox editor Scott Barker and co-founder Jesse Fox Mayshark on their Compass Points podcast to nerd out on all things downtown-ish. Naturally, I showed up with 10 FULL PAGES of notes about stuff happening in downtown proper alone. Since both hosts and producer Seth Barber failed to clear their next six hours for my monologue, I crammed what I could into a rapid-fire spoken word performance, confirming once and for all that I should stick to journalism.

Centrus ships first American made centrifuge from Oak Ridge to Ohio

The staff at Centrus Technology and Manufacturing Center at 400 Centrifuge Way in Oak Ridge on Oct. 29 joined politicians, along with company and government leaders, in celebrating the shipment of the first new American-made, advanced AC100M centrifuge as part of Centrus Energy Corp.’s multibillion-dollar expansion. The company is expanding its capacity to make thousands of gas centrifuges in Oak Ridge and to use those machines in the plant the company has been enlarging in Ohio to enrich uranium at traditional and higher concentrations for future nuclear power plants housing conventional or next-generation, advanced reactors. Pieces of the gas centrifuge have been shipped by truck to Centrus Energy’s American Centrifuge Plant in Piketon, Ohio, where the Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant previously enriched uranium. According to a Centrus Energy news release, the ceremony marked a milestone in which expanded centrifuge manufacturing in Tennessee is connected with uranium enrichment expansion in Ohio “to rebuild America’s nuclear fuel supply chain. The achievement marks the assembly of a complete, unobligated supply chain to serve both the commercial and national security markets.” “ Completing the first new centrifuge for our expansion and standing up a one-of-a-kind supply chain are significant moments for our team and
