From now until December 18th, the City of Springfield will provide a bagged autumn leaf collection service to residential customers. The city will not collect loose leaves, so in order for them to be collected, they must be placed in bags. The service will not be available at apartments, condominiums, or businesses. If an owner, landlord, or tenant hires someone to bag leaves the cost of hauling the bags away is included in the price. It takes place from the 1st to the 14th of each month for residents living in the North District of the city, and the 15th to the end of the month for those in the South District.
A bill that would permit partisan school board elections has passed the Tennessee legislature. The bill would leave it up to local authorities to decide whether to make the school board elections partisan. Currently, school board members are elected on a nonpartisan basis. Those who run for office are not allowed to campaign as a member of a political party. Critics of the new bill from both parties say they’re opposed to putting children in the middle of partisan politics.
State lawmakers have approved a measure that limits the amount of time a state of emergency the governor issues may continue. The bill reduces the length of time for a state of emergency from 60 to 45 days. Some legislators say it will help keep tabs on a governor’s order while others are skeptical and question whether the 15-day reduction will make a difference. The measure passed Friday during the Extraordinary Session.
