Nashvillians will get to vote for #ChooseHowYouMove in Nov to make it easier to get around the city and lay the groundwork for a better transit system. Thank you @FreddieOConnell for your collaboration with mayors and state leaders during this process. https://t.co/R9kTKlC5fH
46 of the top 50 metro areas have dedicated funding for transit. Nashville and Memphis are two of the four cities that do not. It’s time to invest in more affordable, safer transportation options. #citiesforpeople#transit#saferstreets
Organized by @voices4saferTN, about 6,000+ people are now making a human chain from @VUMCchildren to the State Capitol to call for tougher gun control laws.
GNRC's executive director, @michael_skipper, spent the day on the hill with @setdd and other #TN Development Districts talking with @CSexton25 and TN leadership about the importance of public investment in jobs and transportation infrastructure.
I always look forward to reading @MargaretRenkl's columns in @nytimes. She writes beautifully, powerfully and astutely and this piece about Tennessee's GOP officials is especially so. I'm honored she linked to one of my @TNLookout columns, too. https://t.co/LIcWDzQ2wm
