Notable endorsements pile up in TN Congressional races ahead of Nov. 3
Regulating data centers was the talk of last week, again. The Memphis City Council failed to enact a moratorium on data center development that had been long awaited by advocates, but instead passed a shorter pause at its Oct. 20 meeting.
