State Legislature Passes Controversial Immigration Bill. Now, Will Metro Council Pass Fusus?
The TN General Assembly blazed through a four-day special session this week, and the Republican-controlled legislature successfully passed Gov. Bill Lee’s signature school voucher plan, as well as an immigration bill with a provision that seemingly targets Nashville by making it a felony for any local public official to vote in favor of “sanctuary policies.” Host Marie Cecile Anderson, producer Daniel Sumstine, and executive producer Whitney Pastorek are breaking that down on today’s Friday News Roundup. Plus: Updates on Antioch High School security, Fusus returns at Tuesday’s Metro Council meeting, a preview of the local artists up for GRAMMYs at Sunday’s ceremony, and some great news from Dolly Parton.
