(The Center Square) – A bill set to give the state of Tennessee more power in nominations to the Metropolitan Nashville Airport Authority was amended and passed Wednesday by the Senate Transportation and Safety Committee. The seven-member board now includes nominees from the Nashville mayor that were then approved by Metro Nashville's council. The bill would make an eight-member board with two appointees each from the Tennessee governor, House speaker, Senate speaker and Nashville mayor. The bill previously would have made the board 10 members with one appointed by the mayor and three from the other leaders.
