Maybe I'm mistaken. Please provide the link(s) for your sources for all of C.M. Horton's campaign contributions, and I will look again. Thanks in advance.

C.M. Evans-Segall has already admitted that almost all C.M.s have received money from developers. A quick look at C.M. Horton's spreadsheet finds many of the larger donations from developers or private equity investors, who often fund developers.

Actually NEST & Project 2025 are on the same page:

No offense, but whether you approve of her behavior at a public hearing where a C.M. slanders her is not of much relevance. I find the behavior of several C.M.s that night to be more relevant, showing the divisiveness of these hasty, radical rezonings.

The duplexes are long-gone b/c the Planning Commission, c. 2005, rubber-stamped repeated building of tall-skinnies; Codes looked away, and these boxes had barely a hairsbreadth between them.

I see your first point, but I think that some of the voices against were actually from long-time residents.

I don't recall seeing "Protect charming houses from the bulldozer so they won't be replaced by stacks of flats" in Project 2025. I do recall, however, much work to eliminate regulations, making rich developers even richer.

NEST fits nicely with the Libertarian part of Trumpworld.

So, C.M. Parker: Please tell us about your text conversations during the August 5th Council Meeting, the ones to which C.M. Ellis referred, so you had to lean over her desk and curse at her?

Matthew Bond @mjb1959.bsky.social · 2d

What are you denying about what I said? C.M. Welsch slandered Lauren Magli, and she stood up and shouted (not screaming) to deny the slander. That's all recorded.

It's also irrelevant to this recall, though relevant to the divisiveness caused by these radical re-zonings.

Ironically, neither Lauren Magli nor Rollin Horton has lived in Nashville very long.

Nat'l Association of Realtors PAC is definitely Nashville culture. It's the culture of NEST, the culture of "upzoning," and the culture of the constant din of a "housing crisis" that ignores the unhoused, ignores workforce housing, and focuses on giving ever more to Nashville's lily White population

C.M. Horton is getting a bit peeved: "Nashville is in a housing crisis. The Nations neighborhood plan is a good step in furtherance of the goal, especially for those of us who don’t enjoy the luxuries in life like Ms. Magli."

Of course, the rezoning of The Nations does zero for our housing crisis.

Matthew Bond @mjb1959.bsky.social · 2d

Yes, but Lauren Magli lives in The Nations. Almost everyone who spoke against this plan at the Planning Commission live in District 20. Only half of those who spoke in favor of it do so.

Matthew Bond @mjb1959.bsky.social · 2d

That's what C.M. Horton has already done--and our developers, too.

Matthew Bond @mjb1959.bsky.social · 2d

That's good information. Please point out that developers were among C.M. Horton's major contributors.

No one here is clean.

Magli disrupted when C.M. Welsch, misinformed by texts (probably sent to her by Neil K.), slandered her, accusing her of lying about her address.

Her "obnoxiousness" was nothing compared to that of C.M.s Welsch, Parker, & Ellis.

C.M. Welsch lives in a house quitclaimed to her husband from his mother back in '97. It's on 71% of an acre, zoned RS10. Welsch kept it from the massive re-zoning she attempted to impose onto her constituents earlier this year. She enjoys *luxuries* that she wants to take from her constituents.

Matthew Bond @mjb1959.bsky.social · 2d

Looks bad for Bo Mitchell. We should always look at who contributes to a campaign. C.M. Horton's had a developer or two among his major contributors--what a surprise.

Matthew Bond @mjb1959.bsky.social · 2d

No, C.M. Welsch lives in District 16, where she tried to impose the same kind of re-zoning that C.M. Horton just imposed on District 20. His snark against Ms. Magli is easily turned against his colleague Welsch, where it's even more pointed, since Welsch was sparing her gift house from her plan.

Matthew Bond @mjb1959.bsky.social · 2d

C.M. Welsch lives in a house quitclaimed to her husband from his mother back in '97. It's on 71% of an acre, zoned RS10. Welsch protected it from the massive re-zoning she attempted to impose onto her constituents earlier this year.

So: double ouch.

You were right the first time--and it's no surprise that the Realtors are eating up C.M. Horton.

If taking the Department of Education to court won't work, then sign the "compact," take the $$, and then continue doing what is best for your school, for education, for research, and for our nation.
