Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti says the state does not plan to appeal a preliminary injunction imposed on a new law that would have required Metro Nashville Commission to reduce its membership for the next election. Arguing that the three judge panel that issued the injunction upheld the “the substantive provisions” of the law, Skrmetti said he fully expects future elections to be capped at 20 members. The law has been “delayed but not … defeated,” he said in a written statement.
