This week, Scott and Jesse talk about incoming County Mayor Betsy Henderson's first staff announcements — including two who come with strong conservative ideological backgrounds but little to no experience with county government. They also run through City Council news: a charter referendum to change how Council members are elected; the North Waterfront development plan; and a new limit on the number of pet monkeys allowed per household.

The guys also welcome special guest Leslie Bateman, editor and publisher of Inside of Knoxville, for an update on happenings in and around downtown.

And they preview this week's multiple County Commission meetings..
