We knew the contraction of Ain't would get your attention… A proposal to redraw Tennessee’s judicial districts for the first time since 1984 has failed this session. The House voted 66-28 to defeat the measure sponsored by Republican Representative Jon Lundberg of Bristol, TN. The companion bill was approved 27-4 earlier this month. The plan from Republican Senate Speaker Ron Ramsey of Blountville would affect 22 counties in eight districts. The number of judicial districts would have been reduced from 31 to 29. Most of the House members against the measure say they felt as if they were being dictated to by the Senate, particularly Ramsey.

If passed, the measure would created separate judicial districts for Rutherford and Williamson counties because of population growth in the Nashville suburbs over the last three decades. This would of course mean that Cannon County and Rutherford  would no longer be tied together and listed as being in the same district.

Meanwhile, Coffee County would be folded into one with Cannon, Warren and Van Buren Counties. Currently Coffee County is the only county in the 14th judicial district.
