Stopping the English-only madness

Well, I’m turning into a regular political blogger here. But this issue is both near and dear to me, and critical to our city.

On January 22, Nashville is holding a special election to vote on two referenda:

• One to make English the only language used by Metro government, with very, very limited exceptions
• One to make it easier to change the Metro charter by public ballot

I’m working to urge people to vote no on both counts.

I’ll write more later — I am afraid I’ll actually be quite long-winded about the topic. (Remember SSA, anyone?? There’s another one of those coming.)

But for now, check out the new website created by a diverse coalition of business and community groups opposing these ballot measures: Nashville for All of Us.
