Oracle investment would be transformational victory for Tennessee

Bob Rolfe serves as commissioner of the Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development. If you have been keeping up with the news lately, it will come as no surprise that Tennessee is a finalist to land what would be the largest project in the state’s history in terms of job creation. Global tech giant Oracle is considering expanding its U.S. information technology development footprint, and Nashville is a contender for this project. Along with 8,500 high-quality jobs that will provide exceptional wages, Oracle would invest $1.4 billion in Tennessee, of which $175 million would be used to make extensive infrastructure improvements to Nashville’s River North development.

Tennessee bill encroaches upon judiciary and constrains municipalities

Steve Mulroy is the Bredesen Professor of Law at the University of Memphis. This year in Nashville, we’ve seen some troubling encroachments on judicial independence. One got knocked back, but another is up for a vote soon.  The Legislature took its first swipe when the House considered an effort to remove Nashville Judge Ellen Lyle as punishment for ruling against the State in last year’s case expanding mail voting during the pandemic. Public outcry caused the proponents to back off.  Still pending is  Senate Bill 915/House Bill 1072, currently set for a floor vote Monday evening. It would tilt the playing field heavily in favor of the State in constitutional litigation. 

Honor Second Chance Month with year-round commitment to reduce recidivism

Daren Swenson is the vice president of Reentry Partnerships and Innovation at CoreCivic. Again this year, the federal government has officially designated the month of April as Second Chance Month. It s a time to raise public awareness about the need to give those who have been convicted of crimes and completed their sentences a real opportunity for an honest second chance at successfully reentering our communities. At CoreCivic, this focus on reentry and reducing recidivism has been and continues to be a major part of what we do year-round because we believe we have a moral, social and economic obligation to provide those who have been entrusted into our care with the tools they need to successfully reenter their communities upon their release and to stay out of prison.
