New TNJ edition alert: Dueling special sessions

The new print edition of The Tenenssee Journal is out. Here’s what we delved into this week:

— Lee basks in Ford plaudits, lawmakers focus on masks and shots.
— Sports wagering panel to pick from two local, one out-of-state candidates for executive director.
— Lee details spending plan for other half of $3.7B in federal relief funds. Could the money help Nashville and Memphis land nonstop flights to Europe?
— Obituary: Former state Sen. Carl Moore, cofounder of Bristol Motor Speedway and foe of longtime Speaker John Wilder.

Also: Kelsey allegedly still under investigation, Lee wants BEP overhaul, and Tennessee’s blue plate special.
