An independent project from The Pamphleteer
Metro, in English.
Forty members decide what Nashville builds, taxes, and permits. We make the votes, the bills, and the money easier to track.
Who bankrolls your rep?
Every member, the mayor, and the vice mayor, graded on where the money comes from. Nashville dollars score high. Out-of-state dollars do not.
What do they actually do?
Votes, the bills they sponsor, how often they show up, and who reliably votes with whom.
What is Metro deciding?
Every bill in a sentence or two. A zoning fight never reads like a proclamation.
