The Boring Bill in Tennessee That Everyone Should Be Watching

In this mention

Opinion piece by Margaret Renkl criticizing Tennessee's SB2077/HB2246 energy infrastructure bill that would allow the state to override local laws blocking fossil-fuel projects. The bill was introduced in response to Memphis's successful grassroots effort to defeat the Byhalia Connection crude-oil pipeline. A coalition of environmental groups including SACE is opposing the legislation as an example of Republican state legislatures using preemption to silence local environmental protections.
