Here’s a small proposal: imagine if Nashville replaced its Vision Zero program, which seeks to eliminate all traffic-related deaths, with a program that sought to reduce *homicides* to zero. Which one would have a more marked impact on the city, and how would we go about achieving it? Feel free to respond with suggestions. I'm streaming tonight at 7 p.m., Megan's on tomorrow at noon, and Jerod Friday at noon. Tune in on [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/@realpamphleteer/streams?ref=pamphleteer.co). Onward.

Recognizing the potentially devastating effect on both Tennessee’s economy and the country, Bradley Jackson, President and CEO of the Tennessee Chamber of Commerce & Industry, has called for a “swift resolution to the strike.” “This historic strike will have rippling effects across large segments of the entire US economy, impacting approximately 1.5 million American families and leading to potential layoffs and bankruptcies for suppliers and small businesses," Jackson [said](https://www.chattanoogan.com/2023/9/15/474983/State-Chamber-Says-UAW-Strike-Could.aspx?ref=pamphleteer.co) on Friday. The automakers offered up to a 20 percent wage increase, but UAW wants “larger wage increases, a four-day work week, and an expanded pension program.” ### ⎋ TN STRONG FAMILY GRANT PROGRAM Last Wednesday, applications opened for the Tennessee Strong Families Grant Program. As part of his effort to [build a culture of life](https://www.tn.gov/finance/office-of-criminal-justice-programs/ocjp/tennessee-strong-families-grant-program-/about-the-tennessee-strong-families-grant-program-.html?ref=pamphleteer.co), the governor has set aside [$20 million](https://www.tn.gov/finance/office-of-criminal-justice-programs/ocjp/tennessee-strong-families-grant-program-/about-the-tennessee-strong-families-grant-program-.html?ref=pamphleteer.co) “to improve access to maternal healthcare and boost critical resources for mothers, children and families by supporting local nonprofits across the state, including pregnancy centers.” Services eligible for the grant program range from adoption support and counseling services to housing assistance and other wraparound services for new mothers. The [application process](https://www.tn.gov/finance/office-of-criminal-justice-programs/ocjp/tennessee-strong-families-grant-program-.html?ref=pamphleteer.co) is open until November 30th, with an intent to apply letter due on November 1st. ### ℳ TIKTOK IN HOT WATER WITH TN AG “Whether TikTok wants to comply with our investigative demands or not, we will continue to use every legal tool available to uncover the truth and protect Tennessee kids," General Skrmetti [said](https://www.tn.gov/attorneygeneral/news/2023/9/15/pr23-38.html?ref=pamphleteer.co) last Friday. Back [in March](https://www.tn.gov/content/dam/tn/attorneygeneral/documents/pr/2023/pr23-38-amici.pdf?ref=pamphleteer.co), General Skrmetti, alongside 45 other attorneys general, filed a brief in support of Tennessee’s motion that would allow an investigation into the possibility that TikTok violated the state’s consumer protection laws. A month later, Tik Tok failed to comply with the motion compelling the social media platform to cooperate with the investigation. In fact, the AG claims that Tik Tok may have destroyed relevant evidence. ### HEADLINES [**Gabrielle Hanson, running morality campaign for Franklin mayor, admits to arrest for 'promoting prostitution' (Channel 5)**](https://www.newschannel5.com/news/newschannel-5-investigates/gabrielle-hanson-running-morality-campaign-for-franklin-mayor-admits-to-arrest-for-promoting-prostitution?ref=pamphleteer.co)Hanson, who has been running a morality campaign that opposes LGBTQA activities such as Pride Fest, posted the video about seven hours after *NewsChannel 5 Investigates* texted her with details of a criminal history that appeared to be linked to her.
