by Rod Williams, March 7, 2024 - Below is the email newsletter report on the Council agenda provided by Rae Keohane. Rae is a local active Republican. It should go without saying that her opinions are her own. Reposting her newsletter does not signify my agreement. While I do agree with most of her positions; not all. One area of disagreement is that I support the NEST proposals and Rae does not. I generally favor less government restriction on private property instead of more. Note that the highlighting and bold typeface is in the original email.
Rae reads and studies each Metro Council agenda and shares her opinion on items of interest and shares her email to those on an email distribution list. Having done this myself in the past, I know how time consuming this can be. If you would like to be included on Rae's email distribution list, contact her at raekeo@aol.com.
In addition to her reporting on the Council, Rae is a facilitator of the Nashville Conservatives breakfast group.
Hello BRANDON AND ALL COUNCIL MEMBERS
Since you will be voting on several matters of concern below is my opinion and questions about some matters before you tonight.
I would appreciate some responses to my questions.
I spend a few hours on this each meeting I would appreciate a response to my questions.
I and many others will be WATCHING you all on TV!
I have a comment about the TRANSIT use here in Nashville 2024 as per the forecast published by WeGo-MTA, Total Revenue = $11million, Total bus Expense = $102million. This means that for each $2 trip paid by passenger, the cost to non-riding taxpayer additional $18.00. Do you believe Metro Taxpayers would agree for a Tax increase for Mayor Freddie’s “Transit Plan”? Source MTA .
I don’t usually comment on developments outside my council district but since you all are considering ELIMINATING the SINGLE-FAMILY ZONING FOR ALL OF DAVIDSON COUNTY, I WILL NO LONGER LIMIT MY COMMENTS. IN LIGHT OF WHAT YOU ARE ALL CONSIDERING COUNCILMANIC COURTESY SHOULD GO THE WAY OF THE DODO BIRD! In my considered opinion part of the housing problem in Nashville is the NOO STR’S.
