Memphis Power and Light attorneys argued against the city’s plan to build a competing municipal electrical distribution system funded by government funds and TVA power. They contend contracts with TVA and the PWA would surrender state sovereignty and allow federal control of rates and construction, threatening private utility value and potential loss on a future sale. The city counters that no unconstitutional surrender would occur if contracts are completed.
