This mayor is promising a devastating cut to first responders if citizens push back on the 35+% property tax hike. It looks like there will be a special election in December where residents can vote for a 2% increase instead.

Meanwhile, city employees were never furloughed or asked to cut pay to save any money while Mayor Cooper put business owners on the street.

Oh, and tax revenues are up this year compared to last year except for all the businesses that were closed by the stupid mayor.

EDIT: Tennessee State tax revenues are up. Nashville hasn't been very open with their revenue numbers as they are asking the State for additional funding. The city's revenue may actually be down sine they have been closed compared to the rest of the state.

Democrats destroy everything they touch. They are a pestilence, a plague. Nashville is merely another in a long line of victims.

If you think about it, the Democrats require that there be destruction otherwise they wouldn't have a leg to stand on.

To put it another way, Republicans award success, and Democrats cater to failure. Without a voting demographic that feels like they have been given a raw deal, the Democrats wouldn't have a party at all. That's why they continue to tell people that it's not their fault that they have failed - it's the fault of the successful "cheaters" in the country.

Correct. Democrats run on the fuel of despair, envy, pain, suffering. But they (at least their politicians) don't want to solve the problems. Otherwise they would be out of job.

Republicans run on the fuel of progress, family, success. We design systems of rules to encourage good behavior and discourage bad, and then let the system go. And if we are not needed then, because the clockwork is running perfectly, so much the better.

Look at it this way - they can defund their police now!
