Tennessee Lawmakers' Power Grab in Nashville & Memphis
Description
Tennessee lawmakers assert control over Nashvilles key spots, including airport authority, electric service, and downtown tourist zones, with state highway patrol patrolling streets. Speaker Cameron Sexton defends the move, citing state investments in Nashvilles attractions. Democrats label it a power grab, with some calling Sexton the shadow mayor. Memphis also sees new oversight boards for schools and district attorney, and the East Bank Authority Sexton sits on now controls three hundred million dollars in tourist zone surplus revenue. Sexton dismisses mayor talk but promises to cut property taxes and promote growth if in charge.
