Rep. Gloria Johnson's decision to seek re-election to her legislative seat while also running for U.S. Senate created some political stir on both sides of the aisle last week. In this episode of Compass Points, Jesse and Scott talk through the implications and possible legal battles set up by Johnson's double campaign. Also: School vouchers feature prominently in Gov. Bill Lee's proposed budget, but the Knox County school board can't come to agreement on what it thinks about them; the Advance Knox planning update gets a generally favorable hearing from county commissioners; and a look at contested primaries for property assessor and the school board's District 3. In the Q&A section, the guys talk about an incident involving the Knox County Sheriff's Office and a Starbucks manager, and whether KCSO needs some kind of civilian review process. They also look ahead to early voting starting on Feb. 14, a City Council workshop on Mayor Indya Kincannon's housing plan, and a city budget retreat.
