During this year’s session, the Tennessee legislature passed a bill that seeks to punish “sanctuary cities,” but Gov. Bill Haslam has yet to sign it. And some hope this could be the rare time he chooses to veto.
He’s facing pressure from those who are opposed to the measure and — from within his own party — by those who have seen anti-immigration issues be effectively used in political campaigns.
In this edition of The Tri-Star State, Nashville Public Radio’s Jason Moon Wilkins and Chas Sisk sort through why Haslam might just issue a veto.
