TAKING FLIGHT: Chattanooga\u2019s airport authority is considering a legal challenge of its own to a state law stripping control of major cities\u2019 airport boards from local governments, according to the Tennessee Journal. Metro Nashville filed its own legal challenge earlier this month ahead of the law\u2019s July 1 effective date. Nashville has filed a series of lawsuits in recent years in response to state laws seeking control of local governmental entities. Nashville has mostly undertaken the challenges on its own, as the laws have singled out Metro, but the airport law \u2014 like a school voucher law several years ago \u2014 applied to other municipalities that have also filed suit. \u2014 Stephen Elliott<\/p>\n
PLOT AGAINST BLACKBURN: A planned attack allegedly set for the 250th celebration of the United States reportedly targeted Sen. Marsha Blackburn, according to the FBI. Blackburn, Tennessee\u2019s senior senator and candidate for governor, was one subject of a planned attack on several officials at the White House over the weekend, which the FBI claims to have thwarted. The attack, which reportedly had as many as 15 conspirators, would have taken place during the UFC fight on the White House lawn, but no one was hurt. \u2014 Sarah Grace Taylor<\/p>\n
FAMILIAR FACE: Chris MacFarland\u2019s first personnel decision as Nashville Predators general manager was to acquire a player he knows well. The Predators traded with the Colorado Avalanche \u2014 MacFarland\u2019s employer for the previous 11 seasons \u2014 to acquire 29-year-old forward Ross Colton, a \u201ctwo-way winger who will add sandpaper and grit into our middle six group,\u201d MacFarland said. Colton has 89 goals and 87 assists in 404 career NHL games. The Predators gave up third-round picks in the 2026 and 2027 drafts, and the teams swapped minor league goalies, with Magnus Chrona going to Colorado and Isak Posch coming to Nashville. \u2014 David Boclair<\/p>\n
