Silly priorities
Now, there are a few things you should expect out of the Tennessee Legislature by now. In every General Assembly session, there are bound to be wild, ridiculous bills that will leave you scratching your head.
Last year there was a bill that would rename a part of a Nashville street named after civil rights icon and former Georgia Rep. John Lewis to Donald Trump Boulevard. There was another bill that would eliminate early voting in the state. And then there was the perennial bill to make the Bible the state book. None of these bills became law.
So it’s no surprise this year to once again say to mutter under your breath: What are our Tennessee lawmakers thinking?
First up is proposed legislation that would ban the sale of cold beer — yes, the very thing these GOP lawmakers’ favorite country artist sings about.
