We like to listen to Tennessee voters when it’s time to go to the polls, so WPLN has been chatting with those casting ballots early in the primary. Reporters collected voices from Hermitage to Springfield and Clarksville to Murfreesboro.

A couple of themes emerged. On the Republican side, it seems everyone has thoughts about Donald Trump. And for Democrats, there seems to be less familiarity, but more passion, for Bernie Sanders.

Federal Funding Eliminated

Congress has voted to rescind federal funding for public media, including funds that were previously approved for the current year. We will soon be faced with a shortfall of over $400,000. We don’t plan to cut programs, but the need is real. Become a new sustaining member or increase your monthly giving now to help us bridge the gap. Thank you for your support.
