The Tennessee House Utilities, Banking, and Small Business sub-committee voted 8 to 6 to recommend passage of the cable franchise bill [2] that will eliminate local control of cable franchises.
Representatives voting for approval were: Cobb C [3], Gilmore [4], Kelsey [5], Lynn [6], McCormick [7], Pitts [8], Curtiss [9], Shepard [10].
Representatives voting against approval were: Fitzhugh [11], Lundberg [12], Matheny [13], McManus [14], Rowe [15], Towns [16].
It is on the Senate Commerce, Labor, and Agriculture committee calendar for action today. The House action today was, I believe, the first recorded vote on the measure.
Here's a recent post by C.E. Petro [17] about why this isn't a good idea, and here's a KnoxViews roundup [18].
