Nearly 47%, or 11,223 Anderson County voters voted for Blackburn for governor. Her Democratic challenger, Jerri Green, received nearly 42% of the votes cast in that race, or 9,989 votes. 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.

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

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

Gina Grubb and Joe Gaddis win Oak Ridge elections

A former police officer and retired teacher is the newest member of the Anderson County Commission. And Oak Ridge High School's longtime football coach , who now works as athletic director, will be the newest member of Oak Ridge City Council. Democrat Gina Grubb beat Republican Don Layton on Nov. 3 in the race for a District 8 seat on the County Commission. She received 2,190 votes, or 58% of the vote, compared with 1,583 votes, or 42%, for Layton, a retired Anderson County judge. That makes Grubb the unofficial winner. The Anderson County Election Commission will certify the results at a later date. Speaking after her win, Grubb credited the "tremendous outpouring of support (and) generosity" of people inside and outside District 8, which includes Oak Ridge residents who vote in the Emory Valley, Woodland and Hendrix Creek precincts.
