Earlier today a story ran in TBA Today based on an early 2024 Axios article regarding the governor’s budget for FY 2024-2025. To clarify, that budget is not the 2025-2026 budget, which is currently under development and has not been released. We regret the error and any confusion this may have caused.

The link for the second installment of TBA's Indigent Representation Primer published on Friday did not work for some TBA Today readers. The post, which highlights background and data about Tennessee's Indigent Representation Program, including how courts determine and assign counsel for indigent defendants and vulnerable individuals, can be accessed here. The post also looks at a recent performance audit report of the Tennessee court system conducted by the Office of the Comptroller of the Treasury, including an evaluation of the "effectiveness and efficiency" of the current system of indigent representation as well as other court programs. See past primer posts here.

An article in Friday's issue of TBA Today included an incorrect death date for Judge Robert E. Lillard. The Nashville councilman, judge and civil rights activist died Nov. 6, 1991.

In a TBA Today news item last week, the funeral information for Former Judge Anthony Andrew "Andy" Jackson was incorrect.

College St.

Two recent stories in TBA Today — one on May 7 and one on May 21 — incorrectly stated that the Shelby County Jail had failed two inspections over the last six years. The original source has now updated its reporting to note that the inspections found "deficiencies" not "failures" in the jail's operations. We have updated our reporting accordingly.
