Metro Nashville filed a lawsuit today to block a new state law making it easier for the Metro Council to approve the new racetrack proposed by Bristol Motor Speedway. The legislation reduced the votes necessary to approve the plan from 27 to 21. tennesseelookout.com/2023/05/24/nas…
BMS pushed hard for the law because they've faced strong opposition from some council members, especially over the $34M in public funding. There weren't 27 council votes to approve the $1.26B subsidy for the Titans stadium, leaving open the possibility there wouldn't be for this.
@friedmanadam5 Another astoundingly bad corporate welfare deal for Metro taxpayers. So happy to see Metro sue over this billionaires boondoggle.
@friedmanadam5 Nascar is NOT as popular as it was. We DO NOT Need this !!
