The latest print edition of The Tennessee Journal is out. Here is what’s in it:

— GOP flexes muscles in standoff with Nashville, but will it stick?

— New House rules will give less time to speechifying on the floor, try to keep killed bills dead, and give voice votes the seal of approval.

— Gov. Bill Lee names new members to charter appeals panel.

— Female majority on Supreme Court hangs in balance, grand divisions get equal billing despite population differences.

Also: Someone almost stole $186,000 from the Harshbarger campaign, Mark Green lands a committee chairmanship, state House members’ parking skills scrutinized, and Tim Burchett discusses the perils of drunken rednecks.
