| Betty Nixon |
I served in the Metro Council with Betty Nixon in the decade of the eighties. While she was a progressive Democrat and I a Republican, I had a great deal of respect for Betty Nixon. The Metro Council is a non-partisan body and most issues are non-ideological so political ideology is only rarely a factor in determining who one aligns with. Betty had been a leader of a neighborhood organization before serving in the Council and so had I, so we had that in common. We had both fought against the building of I-440.
I think Betty Nixon was one of the better Council member with whom I served. She was smart, understood the complex issues, did her homework, had integrity, and she loved this city. Betty Nixon was a good person and good public servant. RIP
