Tennessee Judges Block Nashville Council Reduction

Three state judges have temporarily blocked an effort by Republican lawmakers in Tennessee to cut Nashville's Metropolitan Council in half. The council, which has 40 seats, had blocked the 2024 Republican National Convention from coming to the city. The new statute would require Nashville to craft new council districts by May 1, which city officials say is unreasonable. The judges agreed, saying there is a "compelling public interest in preserving the integrity of the Metro election process that is already underway."

Lost diamond ring found in wastewater treatment plant, search for owner underway.

The Metropolitan Council is searching for the owner of a diamond ring that was found at the Rogers Wastewater Treatment Plant in March. The ring was discovered by a maintenance crew while working on a piece of equipment that separates large and heavy items from the wastewater. The council is providing a vague description of the ring and is asking anyone who thinks it may be theirs to submit a photo or detailed description. The ring's unique design will allow the owner to describe it identically.
