The Nashville Airport Authority has selected Adams and Reese LLP to represent it on upcoming issues, the Nashville Business Journal reports. On a split vote, the board chose Adams and Reese over Neal & Harwell, then voted unanimously to pay a maximum $25,000 retainer to the firm for an initial three-month contract. The board remains in some division over the seating of board members Jimmy Granbery and Bobby Joslin. Both were on the board in the past, but were appointed to seats on a new board by state officials after the passage of a law last year that took some appointment power away from Metro officials. When a three-judge panel ruled that law to be unconstitutional, members of the former board moved back into active service. Whether Granbery and Joslin vacated their positions to take appointments on the now-dismissed board remains in question.
