Tennessee court upholds law from Republican legislators to cut blue Nashville's council in half
A Tennessee appeals court has upheld the constitutionality of a law passed by the state’s Republican-controlled legislature to punish the Democratic-leaning city of Nashville. The 2023 law upheld 2-1 Tuesday would cut the size of Nashville’s consolidated city-county governing council in half, from 40 members to 20. Although it was written as applying to broadly across the state to both city and consolidated city-county governments, Nashville is the only Tennessee city meeting that definition with a council of more than 20 members. The law was one of several targeting Nashville after the council’s rejection of efforts to host the 2024 Republican National Convention in Music City. City officials say they are considering next steps.
