Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti addressed nearly 100 attendees at a conference in Kingsport on Aug. 12, co-hosted by local chambers of commerce. According to The Business Journal, the conversations focused on government overreach and its impact on small businesses, particularly in environmental regulation. The news outlet reports that Skrmetti is concerned about the potential overreach of regulations without statutory backing, and emphasized the importance of businesses providing feedback on impending regulations to help address state interests. He focused on economic freedom and cautious regulatory oversight, stating, “Our system of government was designed to make sure power wasn’t concentrated in any one place.”
