The plan, largely aligned with Mayor O’Connell’s original proposal, includes record funding for the Barnes Housing Trust Fund and expanded legal aid for evicted residents. Despite economic caution, the budget also boosts wages at Nashville General Hospital and keeps property taxes flat. A heated debate nearly killed the grocery tax cut — which saves families about $6 a month — but voters ultimately sided with small wins for everyday residents. Mayor O’Connell hailed the outcome as a step toward making Nashville a city where everyone can live affordably and thrive. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
