"A three-judge panel granted a stay of the “Metro Council Reduction Act,” preventing Metro Council from having to immediately pass new maps in order to have a reduced council size prior to the August elections this year.

Chancellors Jerry S. Bryant and Patricia Head Moskal and Judge Mary L. Wagner issued the ruling Monday afternoon, stating Metro Nashville was “likely to succeed on the merits” of their case against the state’s enacting of the law, which requires the Council to reduce its members by at least half.

The law was signed by Gov. Bill Lee within an hour of its passage on March 9, starting the clock on a 30-day window for the Metro Planning Department to create brand new district maps for Metro Nashville-Davidson County. With the ruling, the panel agreed with Metro’s position that it would be better to maintain the status quo while the legal challenge worked its way through the court system."....(more)
