The Tennessee House and Senate will try this week to reconcile competing bills that would move control of the Nashville Airport board to the state and stipulate its size, the Tennessean reports. The Senate version of the bill would create an eight-member board with two appointments each from the governor, House and Senate speakers and the mayor. The House version of the bill includes a 10-member board with three members appointed each by the governor, House speaker and Senate speaker. The final spot would be for the mayor or his or her designee, who would not have voting power. The board is the governing board for the Nashville International and John C. Tune airports. Both bills maintain the current rule for all board members to live in Davidson County.
