From the Cleveland Daily Banner…
Tim Siniard reports: A letter from 10th Judicial District Attorney Steve Crump received by complainants who contacted his office regarding conditions at Sunset Memorial Gardens, has informed them an investigation of the cemetery has been completed.
Crump stated his office has drafted an opinion and is preparing to file an action to enforce “consistent maintenance” of the cemetery “in keeping with the honor and respect deserved by those who are buried there.”
Melanie Marshall, who has two sons, as well as eight other family members interred at Sunset, has been leading the effort to hold the cemetery’s owners, Cecil Lawrence Inc., accountable for the dilapidated state of the cemetery.
Last month, the Tennessee Department of Commerce & Insurance opened an investigation looking into the financial records of the local cemetery that has been the focus of complaints over its unkempt conditions.

On Friday, September 25, 2020, Cleveland Utilities (CU) Board of Directors approved a resolution committing to no retail electric rates increases through the period ending June 2023.
This move by CU follows the announcement made on August 27, where the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) Board of Directors approved a Pandemic Relief Credit offering its customers a 2.5 percent wholesale base rate credit, which will begin in October and extend over a 12-month period.
Cleveland Utilities had projected retail electric rates to increase 1.5% in fiscal year 2021, 0.0% in fiscal year 2022 and 2.0% in fiscal year 2023. However, this action will complete a four-year period without retail electric rate increases.

A black bear raced around downtown Chattanooga on Saturday before it was finally taken down by a TWRA officer.
Earlier in the day, there was a Facebook photo of a bear near Lookout Valley Elementary – possibly a visitor from nearby Elder Mountain.
And there were numerous reports of the bear near UTC with many taking videos.
City officials said it was not a runaway from the Chattanooga Zoo.
The Tennessee Wildlife Resource Agency sent officers to the scene and soon a line of officers in flashing patrol vehicles were following behind the bear as it went from behind the Federal Building toward the Bessie Smith Hall along MLK Boulevard.
