For a second I thought @rollinhorton.bsky.social was talking about his shitty guardrails bill. cc @startleseasily.bsky.social
Councilmember Rollin Horton said he was surprised to see a Nashville lawmaker file a bill to preempt a local measure, especially in such sweeping fashion. In addition to preempting Nashville’s existing regulations of surveillance technology, the bill would have allowed the police to bypass local procurement requirements and enter into contracts without the Metro Council’s approval. “How can we condemn state preemption on other issues when this bill is, in fact, state preemption,” said Horton. Clemmons’ bill or any similar effort by a local Democrat in the future could set a “dangerous precedent” and “silence our city’s discussions and concerns,” Horton added.

Suddenly we have a lot to say it seems
The silent treatment But writing about the bill became unexpectedly complicated. I reached out to Clemmons, asked for comment on why he introduced the bill and why he was walking it back. Clemmons at first called the bill a "non-issue" via text message, then, through his spokesperson, said he'd have a call with me. A couple of days later, Clemmons changed his mind. Since Clemmons planned to withdraw the bill, his spokesperson said, he wouldn't be fielding questions about it. But no one else would talk either, not even people who appeared to be instrumental in talking to Clemmons about the wisdom of pulling the bill. Not even a "no comment." Just crickets.

CHYM, and by extension, Freddie’s relationship to transit policy, is ultimately about the comfort and happiness of white Nashville.
Screenshot of Freddie’s post We are so back. We found out last week that we got our Bicycle Friendly Community status restored. Our family celebrated with our first family ride ever to a local lunch spot. We want this to be safer for everyone because of how much joy—and business—it brings.

What a transition.
Horsley spent much of his youth getting into "good trouble." He was arrested seven times for nonviolent protests against segregation. He spent his life working to make Nashville better, and from what I know of him, I think he'd want us to do the same. 'We have an African American Police Chief'
