Busy Day!

 

There is a Metro Council Meeting tonight at 6:30 pm. An agenda has been provided and you can watch the meeting live via channel 3 or stream live on your electronic devices. Also, please do not respond to this email... You can reach me at [email protected].

Today has been extremely busy and I didn't get a chance to write until now... Upon my arrival at City Hall, the council chamber was littered with Neo-Nazi antagonistic a**holes (sorry mom). 

They've marched through our streets, passed out anti-black, anti-immigrant anti-latino, anti-women, anti-semitic, anti-America, anti-everything leaflets. I'm very, very agitated- and you should be too. Nashville is a city built on Love for our Neighbors, not Hate because we disagree. We are a strong city and these unlawful assemblies are unwelcomed.

Please write your city leaders, mayor, vice-mayor, police, state troopers, state leaders and share how pissed off you are too.

What I've Been Up To:
  • Baby continues to progress - Our latest fun has been watching him dance to Prince's song "Let's Go Crazy" This is his favorite song - Crying, play Prince. Grouchy - play Prince. Happy-play Prince -- He absolutely Loves this Song!
  • College Hill Community Meeting Rescheduled - This meeting was postponed and I'll keep you posted.
  • Jefferson St - Working with Planning and NDOT to schedule community engagement and listening sessions regarding the Jefferson St. Cap. A few years ago, Mayor Cooper initiated a Cap project in North Nashville along Jefferson Street that was met with opposition and pushback. We listened and did not move forward with that project, however, I wanted to make sure the funds and the option for additional funding remained in North Nashville - I've accomplished that, and we are working to hear directly from you on your thoughts of where this project should go from here - and it can be other than a Cap.
  • Jefferson St./28th Ave Roundabout - Several months ago we held an active community meeting regarding the proposed roundabout. Many of you wanted to look at alternatives to traffic safety other than a roundabout and we worked through ways to provide that during the meeting. I'm working with NDOT to bring this conversation back to the community with updates regarding your thoughts and designs for your review. 

What's Happening Tonight:  

RS2024-604 -A resolution honoring the life of former Member of Council Edith Taylor Langster.
