The Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport Authority Board of Commissioners is weighing joining Nashville in its federal lawsuit against the state over HB2507, which Gov. Bill Lee signed into law last month. The bill gives the state authority over the airport authorities in Nashville and four other cities. Nashville Mayor Freddie O'Connell announced last week that the city and the Metro Nashville Airport Authority Board filed a new lawsuit to block the state's latest attempt to control the airport authority's board of directors. The Tennessee Journal reports on the Chattanooga board’s consideration.
