In Nashville Latinos are 1/3 of the positive Covid cases. I can not tell y'all how frustrated and ANGRY I am. I am not sorry for asking questions. I am not sorry for continuing to push people. We needed answers and a plan yesterday.
One-third of all Tennessee's COVID-positive individuals are Latino, a fairly shocking statistic in a state that is 5% Hispanic.

Bill Lee is anti-worker.
Unions ensure safe working conditions, higher wages, worker benefits, safeguard against retaliation, prevent wage theft, and a number of other worker rights.
You only care for corporations…not workers.
Today, I joined fellow governors in opposing the UAW's unionization campaign.
We want to keep good-paying jobs & continue to grow the American auto manufacturing sector. A successful unionization drive will stop this growth in its tracks, to the detriment of American workers.

It's important to remember that the state and some of my colleagues did not care when you voted not to shrink the council. They didn't think that mattered. It also didn't matter to them that many minority leaders across the county said this was going to impact representation.

Shame on Sen. Taylor and those who voted to force our local law enforcement to report people to ICE. This is dangerous. The US has a history of detaining people just for looking Hispanic and on occasions deporting US citizens. This opens the door to discrimination and separation.

They want to review how we have spent our $121M when they should be focused on how they have spent their money. The committee and council has moved quickly to provide immediate relief to residents and businesses while the state has moved at a turtle like speed.
Let's review how Metro spent the money so far: mass $51M in mass testing/first responder/PPE purchase, laptops for students remote learning, rent/mortgage assistance to fight homelessness, nonprofit/small biz relief, food bank funding to prevent hunger. Which one's problematic?

Every day I watch something stupid and dangerous happen on Nolensville Pike. Today it was a car driving in the "bike lane" almost hitting two pedestrians.
