NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) â A vote by the Davidson County Election Commission Thursday night requires a judge to decide whether or not voters can weigh in on a proposal that changes Metro s charter.
The NTPA would limit how much the city s tax rate could go up each year. The amendment would revert property tax rates back to FY 2019-2020 thus making it easier to recall elected officials and make it harder to give away Metro property.

The suit was filed less than 24 hours after the commission voted to put the issue on a ballot. Metro argues the petition is unconstitutional and does not meet referendum requirements.
And the city is not alone. The Nashville Business Coalition also filed suit against the commission.
The NTPA will limit how much the city s tax rate could go up each year. It s being backed by a group called 4GoodGovernment. The first referendum attempt failed when a judge ordered the wording on the petition wasn t clear enough to put the proposal in front of voters.
