Having “a long history working with NASCAR” is not really the defense he thinks it is, it creates a whole new line of ethical/bias concerns. @freddieoconnell.bsky.social should demand his resignation, or else Council should remove him.

The developer here could just make good on their promises and be a good neighbor rather than relying on their lobbyist at Hall Strategies to plant negative stories in the Scene via a proxy “community member”

I hear you. The problem at the point is that lobbyists are flooding the zone with so much astroturfing. Its not all on Council, a lot of the tone is set by the sitting Administration, but Council can certainly send the message that it is not going to just speed forward because James Weaver says so

I hope what enough Councilmembers took away from the stadium process is that real community engagement and dialogue cannot be accomplished by just “public hearing(s)”, where people are limited to 2 minute speeches. Proposals like this are too complicated and deserve a real back and forth discussion

This. And on a related note, the “deliberative process” privilege is vastly overused to hide lobbyist communications, at least it certainly was by the Cooper administration.

Can always count on @startleseasily.bsky.social for deep cut references to Metro commission meetings from 3 years ago. It’s like a Widespread Panic fan instantly recalling a killer “Ain’t Life Grand” they played in Macon in 1998….

For the amount Darden seemed to have spent on Davidson Co. mail pieces, his result there is notably anemic. It is effectively why he is losing.

Yeah, this “letter” reads like it was written by SomeraRoad’s lobbyist. if only we knew of any ties between Hall Strategies and Mr. Morgan….

They’re not really an NFL team anymore, at least that’s not the priority. They are primarily an event venue company now. Maximizing that revenue stream is key in order to juice its valuation and then the Adams family’s inevitable sale of at least a substantial minority ownership share….

I am fascinated by mug-in-the-car folks. Like, how does that work at all? I wouldn’t even make it out to my garage with any coffee left in a mug.

Gee wonder if perhaps Bob couldn’t in good conscience support or defend the merits of a forthcoming proposal?
