In light of a new Nashville order restricting gatherings, Tennessee's House Republican Caucus has relocated its leadership meeting from a downtown hotel to the capitol, the Tennessean reports. The 73-member House Republican Caucus was scheduled to hold its leadership elections at Homewood Suites, where the group had rented a ballroom for the meeting. But with new city rules limiting gatherings to no more than eight people, the meeting will be held on state property where the rules do not apply. Last week the group gathered at Pickwick Landing State Park in Hardin County for a multi-day retreat. About 50 members attended, along with Gov. Bill Lee, Health Commissioner Lisa Piercey and other top state officials.
