TNInvestco records decision deferred

Davidson County Chancery Court Chancellor Russell Perkins will not issue his opinion in the lawsuit initiated by VC Larry Coleman versus State officials today; rather, the ruling is now anticipated as early as Monday afternoon, March 1, according to Chancery staff. As reported earlier by VNC, Coleman sued Revenue Commissioner Reagan Farr and Economic and Development Commissioner Matt Kisber, in their official capacities, seeking public-records access to certain TNInvestco competition documentation the commissioners have thus far held is confidential, a judgment they say they have made within the bounds of State statutes and rules governing handling of certain tax, tax administration, proprietary corporate information and economic-development competitive information.
