“Today, we review last night’s council meeting, take a look at the ongoing effort to shrink the size of Nashville’s Metro Council, wonder whether or not Penny Schwinn will finally get confirmed for a federal position, and tour the Downtown Presbyterian Church. Protesters were scattered in front of the courthouse, the gallery was packed like sardines, and a line of those wishing to speak during the public hearing on Nashville’s budget stretched the length of the building at last night’s council meeting. For nearly four hours, members heard from over one hundred constituents who made their pitch for more funding or fewer taxes. Union members, Metro workers, homeowners, nonprofit representatives, and activists stepped up for their two minutes at the mic. … A group of protesters standing on the courthouse steps with ‘No New Taxes’ shirts on told The Pamphleteer that they feel Nashvillians have been left behind.” (06/04/25)
