House Speaker threat against Nashville mayor similar to threat against Shelby County
Two days before Nashville's mayoral runoff election, new House Speaker Cameron Sexton has injected himself into local politics by criticizing Mayor David Briley over his recent actions related to immigration. Sexton's threat of withholding state money from the city is the same threat applied earlier this year to Shelby County by Tennessee’s lieutenant governor over immigration issues.
