A citizens' group has come together to push for a climate action plan in Knox County. But the county's leadership under Mayor Glenn Jacobs denies that there's any such thing as climate change. Nevertheless, both the City of Knoxville and Knoxville-Knox County Planning are working on long-term efforts to mitigate East Tennessee's climate impact. Scott and Jesse talk about them on this week's episode. Also: Aid and recovery efforts continue for communities hit by Hurricane Helene; the school board considers rolling back specific language protecting minority groups from harassment and discrimination; a look at the race in state House District 14 between Republican state Rep. Jason Zachary and Democrat Amanda Collins; and the Tennessee Theatre is undertaking the largest expansion in its 96-year history. The guys also look ahead to the start of early voting, a City Council meeting and a candidate forum in the state Senate 6th District.
