Tennessee down $54M in hemp tax revenue after THC ban (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Tighter restrictions on THC products have cost Tennessee more than $54 million dollars in tax revenue. The state has only collected 3% of what it had anticipated from a new hemp tax. Last year, state lawmakers approved both the new tax and a ban on THCA, a type of THC that was legalized nationwide in 2018 through a loophole in the Farm Bill. That meant an end to the hemp industry’s most profitable products, like smokable flower and full-spectrum CBD. Many businesses had to close or move across s

Tennessee could get $50B for storing nuclear waste. The state won’t say where it plans to put it (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Tennessee is one of five Republican-led states under federal consideration to store the nation’s nuclear waste. An agreement would mean $50 billion in capital investments for the state. But some of the specific communities that could potentially host a nuclear waste site were redacted from the public-facing version of Tennessee’s proposal. The state has identified Oak Ridge as the primary site for a nuclear campus, which would not only store waste but also be a site for uranium enrichment, react
