Summary
The annual public budget hearing at Metro Council this week was another marathon session, with over 100 residents lining up to speak for nearly four hours about what they’d like to see in our city’s budget this year. Marie Cecile Anderson, Margaret Kingsbury, and Whitney Pastorek are discussing what they heard from their neighbors on today’s Friday News Roundup. Plus: Why did the council meeting almost come to blows? How’s the zoo feeling about the proposed data center next door? And what’s it gonna take to make Nashville an affordable place to live? In our special bonus segment, Hell Naw, we’re taking on the local middle school that’s named for a segregationist, and hey y’all — Happy Pride Month!
