BBBTV12 Serving Anderson, Roane, and Morgan Counties
The Harriman City Council unanimously approved a resolution during their meeting last night to oppose Governor Bill Lee’s proposed school voucher plan. The plan is scheduled to be discussed during a special legislative session on January 27th.
Harriman officials, along with other governmental bodies across the state, are weighing in on the controversial proposal. Many have expressed opposition, including the Harriman council, which voted against it during last night’s meeting.
According to city officials, the council’s action was prompted by a request from county leadership to take a formal stance on the matter. The resolution aligns with broader concerns among local governments about the potential impact of the voucher plan on public education.
This opposition reflects a growing sentiment among communities statewide as the legislative session approaches.
