Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti filed a formal notice of appeal today that his office plans to challenge a special three-judge panel’s decision that found a state-constituted airport board for the Nashville Airport Authority to be unconstitutional. The special panel ruled on Oct. 31 that state legislators violated the home rule concept by targeting Nashville. It immediately reinstated the Metro board, which has been meeting and reviewing actions taken by the short-lived state board. Read the statement from Skrmetti's office. Nashville Business Journal has more on the story.
