As the legal quarrel over the July 27 anti-tax referendum plays out in court, two vying groups have launched dueling campaigns over the ballot initiatives that would significantly shift Metro Nashville s power.
Americans for Prosperity s Tennessee chapter, a Koch Network-founded group, announced Tuesday it is forming a ballot committee backing the July 27 initiatives.
The proposals, spearheaded by petition group 4 Good Government, aim to restrict Metro Nashville s power over property tax rates, recall elections and land transfers. Among the proposals, it would roll back Nashville s property tax rate which will be set to $3.288 for every $100 of assessed value as mandated by the reappraisal cycle to $3.155, and cap property tax increases without voter approval at 3%.
