Oracle Layoffs, Voucher Chaos, and Can Kid Rock Summon Helicopters?

Massive tech conglomerate Oracle is supposed to be building its worldwide HQ on Nashville’s East Bank, but this week, they laid off thousands of staffers — including some of our neighbors. On today’s Friday News Roundup, host Marie Cecile Anderson is joined by newsletter editor Margaret Kingsbury and executive producer Whitney Pastorek to dig into why at least one state rep is calling for immediate accountability. Plus, state Republicans are conflicted over voucher expansion, and at least two of them want to move our local elections back a year; great meals and activities for Passover and Easter; and what was that whole Kid Rock helicopter situation about? Please share the Metro Human Relations Commission language access survey far and wide!
