The Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) ended its Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) goals on October 2. TDOT announced the decision just days after the U.S. Department of Transportation released new guidance that warned the previous guidelines, issued during the Biden era, likely violated the Constitution.
TDOT's decision was revealed in a Monday post to X by attorney Dan Lennington of the Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty, who represented The Tennessee Star in its litigation to compel the FBI to release the writings by the transgender Covenant School killer.
