Rep. Mark Green Retiring, a Tragic Crosswalk Death, and Elon Musk Wants To Do What Now?
Elon Musk’s Boring Co. is in talks with state leaders to build a tunnel from BNA to downtown, but he’s not the only national name in our local news this week. Host Marie Cecile Anderson, producer Daniel Sumstine, and executive producer Whitney Pastorek have the deets on that as well as the surprise Middle TN indictment of wrongly deported immigrant Kilmar Abrego Garcia and the retirement of Rep. Mark Green (TN-07). Plus, we’re remembering Dot Dobbins, who was tragically killed in a crosswalk during CMA Fest.
