When opioid-settlement grants turn nonprofits into public contractors

In March 2024, Tennessee’s Opioid Abatement Council (OAC) approved a three-year grant worth about $1.7 million for a Knoxville nonprofit called Next Step Initiative Tennessee. The state’s own grant workbook classified the organization as “small.” Its Trenches 2 Treatment project was approved for $566,566 in the first year alone, and a little more than a year later, the same grant appeared in a very different kind of state record.

Should TN's botched execution affect KY's death penalty? State's lawyers argue no

A Franklin County judge will decide whether he wants to add or remove claims from a death penalty case that has rolled on for more than two decades. In the latest twist in a long case, attorneys for several of Kentucky’s death-row prisoners asked Judge Phillip Shepherd to reconsider claims he previously dismissed in a death penalty lawsuit after the failed execution of Tennessee death-row inmate Christa Pike. David Barron, an attorney for 13 of Kentucky’s death row prisoners, filed a motion in October asking Shepherd to reinstate two claims to the lawsuit that, if successful, would allow attorneys of inmates to view IV insertion, and to have prompt access to a telephone during their client’s IV insertion. Barron pointed to Pike’s failed execution as a reason why Kentucky should implement these two measures during executions. But the state and department of corrections disagree, saying that bringing the claims back is speculative. “Even Tennessee doesn’t know what happened,” said department of corrections attorney Crystal Thompson. “What happened in Tennessee doesn’t have an effect on what is happening here.” At a hearing Tuesday afternoon, Shepherd heard arguments from both sides and plans to take them into account before a decision is

Christian school wins Tennessee court case challenging religious charter ban

Did you know search engines like Google are changing the way you see news? Keep Chalkbeat’s valuable education coverage at the top of your feeds by clicking here and checking the box next to our name. Knox County Schools cannot block a Christian charter school application on religious grounds despite a Tennessee law banning religious charter schools, according to a federal court ruling on Friday. The narrow decision applies only to Knox County Schools and the Wilberforce Academy of Knoxville, which sued the school district last year over its application of the state law. It does not strike down Tennessee’s religious charter school ban or guarantee that Wilberforce’s application will be approved. The ruling comes amid a growing national conservative push to greenlight taxpayer-funded religious schools . Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti declined to defend the 2002 law earlier this year after publicly calling it “likely” unconstitutional , leaving Knox County Schools to face a lawsuit challenging a state law it was required to enforce. Tennessee lawmakers also loosened the state’s restrictions on religious charter schools this year, allowing religious organizations to operate charter schools as long as the schools themselves remain nonreligious. Wilberforce, however, aims to open an explicitly

NASA confirmed sightings of a meteor seen above Tennessee and North Carolina at the beginning of November. The report from NASA comes several days after the object was first reported, with many sharing photos and videos on social media of the object captured at around 7:45 p.m. on Nov. 5. NASA has now confirmed that the object was a small piece of an asteroid, which disintegrated above Tennessee, just south of Chattanooga.

10 East Tennessee Small-Town Sandwich Shops Worth Going Out Of Your Way For

A Tennessee bakery serves a roast beef sandwich named after a waterfall. The building that holds it dates back to 1908 and made it through a fire in 1914. That detail alone had me hooked. Then I learned about a farm cafe where the cheese on your melt is made right on the property.
