Metro Nashville’s original board governing the city’s airport is back in charge after a three-judge panel ruled that an alternative board created by the state legislature was unconstitutional. Tennessee Lookout reports that the panel found that state legislators violated the home rule concept by targeting Nashville. The Attorney General's Office tells another news source that it is reviewing the decision. Metro Nashville sued to block the law’s implementation at the time it was signed into law, but over the summer, the judges allowed the new board to gain control while they considered the case.
