About this listen
In this episode of You're So Right, host Lonnie Spivak sits down with Metro Councilwoman Courtney Johnston to discuss pressing issues facing Davidson County and Nashville, Tennessee. Recorded on June 16, 2025, the conversation dives into the recent appeals court ruling to reduce the Metro Council from 40 to 20 members by 2027, exploring its implications for district mapping, representation, and term limits. Johnston shares her perspective on the controversial 26-39% property tax increase proposed in the mayor's budget, her efforts to propose a substitute budget with a lower tax levy, and the challenges of balancing fiscal responsibility with community needs. The episode also touches on Nashville’s strained relationship with state and federal entities, particularly regarding ICE enforcement and the mayor’s actions, as well as debates over transit plans and single-family zoning changes. Johnston offers insights into Nashville’s financial health, the impact of growth, and her thoughts on her political future as her final term nears its end. Tune in for a candid discussion on local governance, community priorities, and the future of Nashville. Available on YouTube, Rumble, and all major podcast platforms at youresoright.us
