This week, Scott and Jesse talk about the confusion and strong opinions around the Planning Commission's 7-6 vote to approve a large apartment complex on the Kerbela Shrine site — which came immediately after the commission had voted 7-6 to deny it.
Also: How a new state law is complicating Knox County's approach to development; the city and county collaborate on a plan for the Municipal Golf Course; and a last look back at the trends and issues in the Aug. 6 balloting.
They also look ahead to this week's County Commission and City Council meetings.
