Press release - Advocate
for children with disabilities and candidate for District 20 on the
Nashville Metro Council, Tori Goddard, released the following statement
after the repeated sounding of Nashville’s tornado sirens on June 21,
2019 after the expiration of the National Weather Service’s warning in
Davidson County:
“It
is entirely unacceptable that the Metro Council and Mayor have not
moved more swiftly to improve Nashville’s tornado warning system. As we
move further into both tornado and tourist season it is irresponsible,
terrifying, and detrimental to our city to continue having an outdated
tornado warning system. As
the mother of a child with special needs, I am particularly frustrated
with our city’s inaction. Beyond the panic that is created among
tourists and many residents, the additional stress and harm brought upon
my daughter by alerting for a non-existent tornado threat is
unacceptable.”
Campaign spokesman, Christian Potucek, added the following:
“West Nashville’s current representative on the Metro Council, Mary
Carolyn Roberts, has repeatedly ignored the most important issues of her
District and our city on the whole. It is irresponsible and downright
dangerous that the Metro Council didn’t take steps to correct this
absurdity when it first occurred earlier this year. Government red tape
is not a valid excuse for putting the lives of citizens and tourists in danger.”
