New TNJ alert: GOP lawmakers throw up barriers to public, feds channel top shelf whiskey

The latest print edition of The Tennessee Journal is out. Here is what’s in it:

— Lawmakers shield themselves from advocates in special session.

— Courtside seat: Prosecutors to Phoenix Solutions: You’re no Pappy Van Winkle.

— From the campaign trail: O’Connell gets COVID-19, elbows thrown in Memphis mayoral contest.

Also: Joe Towns can’t stand the heat, shuttered Middle Tennessee newspapers revived, a taxpayer funded birthday party in Memphis, and G.A. Hardaway’s Freudian slip.
