Press release, 1/18/2017 - Mayor Megan Barry issued the following statement on news that
Governor Bill Haslam will include authorizing legislation for voter
referendums to approve a dedicated funding source for transit in his
legislative package:
“I appreciate Governor Haslam’s leadership on the issue of
transportation infrastructure in Tennessee and the inclusion of a local
option for voters to approve dedicated transit funding in his
legislative package. I believe Nashvillians are willing to pay for a
mass transit system that meets the needs of our growing community if
given the chance to make that decision. Over the coming weeks and
months, we will continue to advocate on behalf of Governor Haslam’s
comprehensive transportation legislation that will keep Nashville and
Tennessee moving forward.”
