Since the release of her GRAMMY® Award-winning, platinum-certified 2018 album Look Up Child – which includes the breakthrough hit single “You Say” – Daigle has been a mainstay on the Billboard charts. When Look UpChild debuted at No. 3 on the Top 200 Albums chart, Daigle became the first female artist in history to simultaneously hit the Top 10 on both Billboard’s Pop and Christian Album charts. She went on to break another record when the LP reached 100 weeks at No. 1 on the Top Christian Albums chart, which is the greatest number of weeks that any artist has spent at the top of any individual album chart. Similarly, the 5x platinum-certified “You Say” is the longest-running No. 1 to appear on any weekly Billboard chart.
Off stage, Daigle remains committed to investing her time to promote music education, work with at-risk youth, and provide care for children, the elderly, and those in need through The Price Fund, an organization she founded in 2018. To date, she has distributed over $2.4 million to 40 nonprofits around the world.

Knoxville City Council approves a bill giving over a million dollars build the new real time crime center.
The 7-2 vote followed a lengthy debate as to what exactly the new Real Time Information Center will provide for the community.
Members of the council raised concerns about potential privacy issues that may arise, however Knoxville Police Department Chief Paul Noel says it will be a tool used exclusively by law enforcement to help investigators generate leads and close cases after crimes occur.
When asked about how KPD planned to use these cameras, citing incidents in other cities where the wrong person was arrested after being “identified” on camera, Noel says, “an image alone will not meet the probable cause for an arrest.”
Noel says the cameras will not be monitored 24/7, with the main goal of the RTIC is being a tool to help track people after they have committed a crime.
Noel says 15 cameras will be owned and operated by the city. The facility is expected to be finished in late August.

As the pandemic-created public health emergency comes to a close, millions of Americans could soon lose coverage.
The federal government is soon going to stop auto-enrolling Medicaid recipients.
The move could leave an estimated 18 million people without coverage.
TennCare is soon going to auto-enroll Tennesseans who qualify for Medicaid.
However, if they fail to do that, they will mail people renewal forms and suggest recipients do a number of things to make sure the process is smooth.
1. Verify your address with TennCare, so you do not miss important information from TennCare. You can update your contact information online from your https://tenncareconnect.tn.gov/ account or by calling 855-259-0701. If you don’t have a TennCare Connect account, you can create one https://tenncareconnect.tn.gov/create-account and link the account to your case.
You can also manage your communications preferences by opting in for text and email alerts.
2. (Beginning in April) Find your renewal date. Your renewal date is due once per year. Find your renewal date online from your https://tenncareconnect.tn.gov/ account or by calling 855-259-0701.
3. Open and respond to all mail from TennCare. You must complete all the steps by your renewal date, or your coverage will end. There are several ways to complete a renewal form:
Fax your completed and signed Renewal Packet to 855-315-0669. Be sure to keep the page that says your fax went through.
Connect to coverage. If you are no longer eligible for TennCare, it is important to quickly get other health insurance. Ask your employer if they offer health insurance or visit https://www.healthcare.gov/ to find affordable health care coverage.
Losing Medicaid is a Qualifying Life Event, and allows people to sign up during a special enrollment period.
Officials with TennCare say the process will be over the course of a year and will start the first week of April.
