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

Lakeshore Pavilion is latest jewel added to beloved Knoxville Park | Opinion

Lakeshore Park celebrated the opening of the Lakeshore Pavilion with a ribbon cutting on the highest hill at the beloved Knoxville park. Simon Bradbury, the new CEO of the park, was joined by Mayor Indya Kincannon. Lakeshore Park was created 35 years ago when Tennessee Gov. Ned McWherter agreed to transfer the land that had housed a mental health hospital to the city. It is now managed by the Lakeshore Conservancy with the city assisting and the city mayor serving on its board of directors. The local effort to create the park was led by Jimmy Haslam III and attorney Caesar Stair III, along with me when I was mayor. The first challenge was to demolish the old buildings that came with the land. The hospital at one time housed more than 2,000 patients. Longtime Knoxville arborist Jim Cortese has received the 2026 Distinguished Achievement Award for Human Issues in Horticulture from the American Society for Horticultural Science. He wrote "John Muir Climbs a Tree and other Tree Tales," which is available from various bookstores. More about him can be found at www.wjimcortese.com .

New Knox County ruling opens door to religious charter schools in Tennessee

An explicitly Christian charter school won the right to apply to operate in Knox County after a federal judge said Nov. 6 that a provision in Tennessee law requiring charter schools to be "nonsectarian" and "nonreligious" violates the First Amendment. The ruling opens the door for charter schools of any religious faith to apply for funding from the state. Charter schools are public schools that are operated by an independent nonprofit within a school district. They receive taxpayer-provided funding from the state and must comply with state academic standards and the state's open meetings and open records laws. They are different from school vouchers, which allow parents to apply a payment from the state for tuition to private schools, including religious ones. Wilberforce Academy of Knoxville sued the Knox County school board in November 2025 after the public school district told organizers their application would be rejected because they aim to provide "Christian educational services" by operating a "Christian charter school." The charter school for students in grades kindergarten through eighth intends to focus on "explicit Christian formation and virtue development," according to the group's website . Alongside a classical education, students would learn Bible stories and catechism, memorize Scripture
