Where is Wanda Walker?
SUMMARY: Eight years ago, Wanda, a beloved grandmother, vanished, leaving her family in sorrow. Her granddaughter, Quantia Chambers, recalls Wanda’s vibrant involvement in family events. In October 2016, the family reported her missing after losing contact. A week later, Wanda’s car was discovered with significant blood inside, indicating a tragic incident. Quantia organized a march, urging anyone with information to come forward. This loss is compounded by the earlier disappearance of Wanda’s daughter, Lisha, in 1999, whose vehicle was never found.

Tennessee’s revenues beat September forecast | Tennessee
SUMMARY: Tennessee’s tax revenues for September totaled $2.2 billion, exceeding budget forecasts by $101.2 million, driven by strong sales taxes (up $43.8 million) and corporate taxes (up $47 million). However, corporate tax collections fell by $69.8 million compared to last year, with an 10.9% drop from August to September. Finance Commissioner Jim Bryson noted that while sales taxes indicated strong consumer activity and surpassed expectations, corporate taxes fell short of last year’s figures due to tax cuts from the 2023 Tennessee Works Tax Act. Overall, September’s revenues are 2.81% above budgeted estimates for the fiscal year.
