New TNJ edition alert: Sexton defends members against ‘intimidation’ tactics

House Speaker Cameron Sexton (R-Crossville) presides first day of the legislative session in Nashville on Jan. 10, 2023. (Erik Schelzig, Tennessee Journal)

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

— Sexton lowers boom on aggressive Right to Life lobbying stance

— Evaluating the vagaries of the lawmaker ratings game.

— Wait until next year? Call for opting out federal education money will take some more work.

— AG leaves few multi-state initiatives unjoined, but was quick to back off on defending state gun law.

Also: Compromise appears to be in the works to tone down legislature’s fight with Nashville, Torrey Harris gets a reprieve from his domestic violence and theft charges, Brent Taylor’s trial balloons, and House committee chairs give bill opponents the red card.
