After weeks of speculation and consideration, Gov. Bill Lee issued a call last week for the legislature to hold a special session in August. We break down the latest developments regarding the upcoming special session.

Also this week, to coincide with the start of the new fiscal year, we sit down Senate finance committee chairman Bo Watson, R-Hixson, who shares his thoughts on the cost of education savings accounts to transparency in the budget process.

Finally, we close out the episode with a discussion with Elaina Sauber, a Williamson County reporter for The Tennessean, who recently spent time in Ridgetop, Tennessee covering a story of illegal ticket quotas, the dissolving of a police department and inquiries by the FBI.
