Not really sure why I made this. Maybe to stir up artificial beef with @CapitolPressTN. Maybe to get the HVAC trucks out of the media parking spots at the courthouse. Maybe to host the occasional social event. But follow @MetroPressCorps if you're into that sorta stuff.

In blatant violation of @CapitolPressTN rules, there may have been some cheering in the press box as our colleague Joe Gregory, a photojournalist for WKRN and WTVF for the last 40 years, was honored on the House floor.

The Lookout was denied access to the House floor, something we've regularly had access to in the past, including during the special session held four months ago. Neither @stockard_sam nor I was on the "approved" list.

Disappointing start to day one of session. House officials have created a binder full of “approved” media that can access the House floor. It is not a complete list and caused a few headaches. If you’re a member of credentialed press having an issue, please contact Kim Kruesi

Meanwhile, House leadership has established ticket access for the West gallery, with lawmakers seemingly able to give out one spectator ticket. There’s no apparent written policy, members of the public were turned away unawares. West Gallery sits mostly empty as House gavels in

So I just got onto the TN House Floor for the first day of session. But there's stricter guidelines to who is allowed on the floor. There's a book with members of the @CapitolPressTN members in it so that they can be sure no one not in it is allowed.

Curiosity got the best of me and I made a trip to the Legislative Security desk to ask "How many guns have you checked and allowed in this week?" The answer surprised even me. An est. 25-30 firearms were allowed into our building during the first two days(in one entrance).🧵

We’re thrilled, naturally, to get on the cover of the @NashvilleScene this week. But nothing will ever match Action @AndySher1’s turn on the front in 1993.

Attention Capitol corps reporters: If you cannot currently get on the House or Senate floors please contact chairman Kim Kruesi. Credentialed reporters are still allowed in press areas.
