LAFOLLETTE, TN (WLAF)- At Tuesday’s LaFollette City Council meeting, there were a few moments of uncertainty.

The first came when Ordinance 2026-05 approval of the 2026-27 budget was put to a vote with the council. When the mayor asked for a motion to approve the item, no one made the motion. After a discussion of why the budget was not moving forward, it appeared the issue was the employees only receiving a two percent cost of living raise. However, in the budget the employees were slated to receive their annual Christmas bonus and a one time bonus of $1,500. The two percent increase plus the $1,500 bonus equals out to a five to six percent increase.
