See how Anderson County voted in the recent election

Independent David Hatley received 10%, or 2,309 votes, the most among the independent candidates. In the U.S. Senate race, Hagerty received 58% of the votes cast in Anderson County, or 13,663. Democratic challenger Marquita Bradshaw received 9,521 votes, or 40%. Independent Robert Jones received 154 votes, or less than 1%, the most among the independent candidates.

Knox County Schools starts warning employees of layoffs in their departments

Knox County Schools has begun alerting employees across all divisions of its central office that they might lose their jobs this summer as leaders face budgetary pressures. Roughly 50 positions will be eliminated in July, about a quarter of which are supervisory or administrative roles, Superintendent Jon Rysewyk said. "Our 91 schools are the most important functional piece of how our kids are successful," Rysewyk told Knox News. "We continue to cut when we don't have the dollars to get there and the cost of things continue to go up. It's our job to make sure that we're preserving the schools as best we can." KCS officials did not say which departments' employees have been notified. Knox News has learned educational diagnosticians and members of the IT department and therapeutic professional partnership program were told positions in their departments will be cut. "Out of respect for our staff, we will not be able to confirm specifics until all employees have been notified," KCS spokesperson Carly Harrington told Knox News. "We can, however, confirm that reductions are being made across every division of the district office." Employees whose jobs will be eliminated will know if they are rehired elsewhere in the

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.
