I rang up a longtime observer of Metro politics to see what he thought about the latest attempt by anti-tax advocates to get a charter amendment before voters that would repeal last year’s property tax increase.
“It’s a shitshow on steroids,” he said.
That’s an apt description. For two solid weeks, the Davidson County Election Commission has been able to do little more than hold one paralyzed meeting after another as they try to figure out how not to get sued and what to do with the lawsuit that’s already been filed against them, and to determine what parts of 4 Good Government’s charter amendment petition might actually be constitutional enough to put on the ballot. The last time this played out in the fall, a court found that significant parts of a petition weren’t legal and could not be placed on the ballot.
