— 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.
