The Republican Party has virtually unchecked power in Tennessee. The governor is a Republican, and the Republican Party enjoys a supermajority in the statehouse, which means that Republicans can pass anything they want to pass no matter how opposed Democrats are.
By rejecting federal funding that could help alleviate some of these burdens, the Tennessee GOP would be callously and unnecessarily perpetuating a cycle of suffering and dispossession. But that pain wouldn’t stop at the boundaries of Memphis or Shelby County. They’d also be exacerbating pain in cities like Jackson, Chattanooga and Knoxville. And in counties like Lake, Hancock and Bledsoe.
