by Joey Garrison, The Tennessean, August 25, 2015- ...Barry, a two-term Metro councilwoman, in 2011 voted for the demolition
of the fairgrounds speedway, which lost by a narrow vote, foiling Mayor
Karl Dean's push to redevelop the 117-acre site. ... Barry this year also voted for the appointment of a Dean nominee to the
fair board who had been flagged by fairgrounds supporters for his past
statements in support of razing the racetrack. The appointment also failed in the council. .....
"It's not a single vote," said Metro Councilman Duane Dominy, who
serves as vice chairman of Save Our Fairgrounds. "It's vote after vote
after vote. She has consistently voted against the best interests of
this property.
"David understands that this city is made up of
people who love this property as well as many areas across this city,"
he added. "David understands the way Nashville has grown and that our
foundational principles are protected in the places that have been here
all these years."
According to Dominy,
Save Our Fairgrounds' board of directors voted unanimously Monday night to endorse Fox. (
