Tomorrow morning, June 6th, 10AM at Peg Leg Porker , 903 Gleaves Street, Councilman Steve Glover will be presenting his alternative budget that proposes a much lower tax increase than does the Mayor's budget or the Bob Mendes budget.
Unfortunately, there will be a tax increase. The deck is stacked to make that inevitable. The Charter is designed to give advocates of a tax increase an advantage. Also, Nashvillians elected a very progressive, big-government loving, Metro Council.
However, it is not inevitable that we have a 32% or 37% tax increase. If the Council hears from the public, Steve Glover may be able to get 21 council votes for his alternative budget. So far, the budget process has been hijacked by those favoring much higher taxes and even those wanting to cut funding for police. Both may happen if citizens do not get behind the Steve Glover proposal.
I plan on attending this important event.
