The Nashville government is asking a judge to throw out the remainder of a law that cuts the size of its Metro council in half. Part of that law was invalidated last year by a three-judge panel, which decided the law was enacted too late to go into effect before the 2023 council elections. Attorneys for the city argue that the remaining part of the law cannot work without the blocked element. The state is arguing for the law to be upheld, saying a blanket limit on metro governments should proceed. Tennessee Report has more on the case.
