TN lawmakers could be in Trump's cabinet
SUMMARY: Tennessee lawmakers are speculated to be potential picks for President-elect Trump’s cabinet, with names like Senator Bill Hagerty, Senator Marsha Blackburn, and Congressman Mark Green frequently mentioned. These politicians have consistently supported Trump since his 2016 campaign. Tennessee’s strong Trump allegiance, highlighted by recent elections, positions these individuals as contenders, especially with Green’s leadership in Homeland Security and Blackburn’s loyalty to the administration. While Hagerty remained non-committal about his prospects, Republican insiders suggest that Tennessee could soon gain significant attention as cabinet announcements are expected before Trump’s inauguration in January.

Lawsuit challenges Tennessee animal chiropractor regulation | Tennessee
SUMMARY: Dr. Laura Colman, a chiropractor from Clarksville, Tennessee, is challenging a law that requires veterinarians to practice animal chiropractic. Despite having a doctorate in chiropractic and a certificate in animal chiropractic, Colman is prohibited from offering animal chiropractic services because she is not a licensed veterinarian. The lawsuit, filed by the Beacon Center, argues that the regulations are arbitrary, unnecessary, and overly burdensome, as veterinary schools don’t teach animal chiropractic. The Beacon Center seeks to have the regulation overturned and declared unconstitutional, stating that the Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners lacks authority to regulate this practice.

Blue-collar Titans fans getting priced out of seats at new Nissan Stadium | Tennessee
SUMMARY: Frank Stiner and his cousin were excited to expand their ticket holdings for the new $2.2 billion Nissan Stadium but faced shocking price increases, as their $750 PSLs skyrocketed to $10,000 each. After expressing concerns, they were dismissed by Titans representatives. Stiner noted that many loyal, blue-collar fans couldn’t afford such prices. The Titans plan to sell PSLs in over 30 tiers, with more than 40% priced below $3,500, but critics argue that true fans are being pushed out. Tennessee Rep. Larry Miller is working on a bill to limit PSL price increases, though it faced resistance from the Titans.
