Tennessee Supreme Court backs law shrinking Nashville Metro Council

Original: Tennessee Supreme Court upholds state law shrinking size of Metro Council

The Tennessee Supreme Court has upheld a state law that reduces the size of Nashville's Metro Council, a measure pushed by Republican state lawmakers over the objection of the Democratic-led city. The ruling removes the main legal obstacle to cutting the council's seats, deepening the ongoing conflict between the state government and Nashville over local control.

Why now: The state's highest court has resolved a closely watched legal fight over state interference in Nashville's local government.
