Tennessee Valley Authority bills sweep legislature
In Nashville on January 18 a slate of bills to curb TVA power and create regional planning commissions was introduced. The measures would allow cities to issue bonds for electric plant construction and permit contracts by public bodies without TVA approval, with regional planning bodies to shape state development and coordinate with TVA. The package also empowers municipalities to condemn property for public service and sets supervision rules for planning commissions across districts.
