Tennessee House Speaker Cameron Sexton, R-Crossville, said today that Republican members may sit on their hands rather than vote for a $500 million incentive package for Ford’s massive investment in West Tennessee if there is not going to be another special session on COVID-19 mandates. Gov. Bill Lee has called a special session for the week of Oct. 18 to address issues related to the Ford deal, The Tennessee Journal reports. Sexton, who has been calling for a special COVID-related session, said lawmakers may also want to consider whether businesses should be liable for workers who get sick after being required to get vaccinated.
