No Tax Increase

Nashville city council representatives claim there is overwhelming support for the thirty-two to thirty-four percent property tax that has been proposed. If they believe this, they should be eager to put it to a referendum to prove their point. Supporters of this tax increase in the face of the COVID recession know no such support exists beyond municipal workers and their families, who obviously know who butters their bread, and therefore will never submit to allowing the anti-tax majority a say through the referendum process.
