Good morning, Johnson City. Here's your local news at a glance for Wednesday, the 30th of April.

COMMUNITY NEWS

  • Bob from Minnesota spent the past 7 months volunteering to help after Helene devastated our region but was robbed just 100 miles from the Tri-Cities, losing $5,800 and forcing him to sleep in his car while searching for work. He now operates heavy machinery on local rebuilding projects and gets support from community groups + First Christian Church and Smoky Mountain Strong God and Country.  WCYB
  • A Johnson County animal rescue organization makes weekly trips to Bristol to offer a 'pay what you can' spay-neuter service for local residents—helping to reduce pet overpopulation and shelter euthanasias. The program partners with the Bristol Humane Society to ensure pets receive necessary care.  WCYB

GOVERNMENT NEWS

  • Governor Bill Lee visited Johnson County Tuesday to check on Helene recovery progress after Highway 421 reopened less than three months after the storm washed away ten road sections. State officials said emergency reforms helped speed up repairs while Mayor Larry Potter praised state and local efforts and urged careful use of taxpayer money.  WCYB
