Recall amendment pushed for charter

A Tennessee grassroots group of county voters headed by Brian Paone, want the Knox County Charter amended next year to allow the recall of county officials. “We want the people of Knox County to know that the government is theirs,” Paone said. “It belongs to the citizens, and we need to take it back if (county commissioners) won’t give it back.”[1]

Parent petitions school about fundraising hours

A petition is circulating in Tennessee that would stop schools from having functions where only students that participated in fundraising activities could participate. The petition suggests not excluding the students at Rutherford County Schools that cannot raise the money, and to instead have the function after school hours.[2]
