Your Turn to Talk: Tariffs and Tennessee (plus, state leg update)

Listen
Share:

Today it’s your turn to talk. As a consumer, are you concerned about what tariffs might do to your household budget? As a business owner, are you already changing your operations to brace for impact? Call us at 615-760-2000 to share your comment or ask a question.

If you’re reading the headlines, it may be hard to keep up with all the back and forth of the Trump administration’s tariff policy. Today we dissect what’s happening right now and look at the real and potential effect these taxes will have on businesses and consumers.

Plus, WPLN environmental reporter Caroline Eggers updates us on new state legislation that could impact Tennessee’s wetlands.

This episode was produced by Mary Mancini.

Guests

  • Caroline Eggers, environmental reporter, WPLN
  • Renee Moore Williams, owner and manager, Moore Family Century Farm (Benton County)
  • Dr. Steven Livingston, political science professor & Associate Director of the Business and Economic Research Center (BERC) at MTSU
