NASHVILLE – Some Tennessee lawmakers have objected to a resolution honoring late pop superstar Michael Jackson.
The resolution was among several to be voted on by House members on Thursday, but House Republican Caucus Chairman Glen Casada of Franklin requested the measure be removed.
Casada said at least two lawmakers objected to money being spent on a resolution for someone not from Tennessee.
Nevertheless, about two years ago, the Senate failed to pass a resolution honoring musician and Tennessee native Justin Timberlake.
