Why Retirees Keep Heading to Georgia, Florida, and East Tennessee

Ask a group of retirees in Knoxville or Sarasota where they moved from, and the answers start to sound familiar. Ohio. New Jersey. Illinois. California, more and more often. Ask them why, and the first thing most of them mention isn’t the weather. It’s the tax bill they stopped paying.

Knox County voters picked these two Democrats over entrenched GOP candidates

If Knox County voters were in the only ones in Tennessee, Democrat Jerri Green would be governor. And Green's race isn't the only one that would've flipped to Democrats if only Knox County had a say: Knox County chose Democrat David Miller over Republican Jimmy Matlock to represent them in Tennessee Senate District 5 (though the county is just a sliver of that district). Voters in Anderson and Loudon counties ended up carrying Matlock over the finish line , but Miller's Knox County success is notable given the district rarely fielded a Democratic opponent when Lt. Gov. Randy McNally held the seat after he was first elected in 1986. The last Democrat to run for that seat was Stuart Starr in 2018, who got 33% of the Knox County vote. Here's how Knox County voted Nov. 3: Governor Marsha Blackburn: 42% (won statewide with 46%) Jerri Green: 48% David Hatley: 7% Lauren Pinkston: 1% Constitutional amendment to allow judges to deny bail to certain defendants Yes: 62% (won statewide with 67%) No: 38% Constitutional amendment to make property taxes unconstitutional Yes: 64% (won statewide with 67%) No: 36% Constitutional amendment to add new rights for crime victims Yes: 73% (won

Personnel will perform preventive maintenance on the public warning siren system in the Oak Ridge area throughout this week, which began Nov. 9. During the maintenance, people in the area may occasionally hear audio from individual sirens near the Y-12 National Security Complex.
