Mayor Freddie O’Connell issues statement on court ruling on size of Metro Council

“I’m pleased with the court's decision to allow Nashville to have the authority to choose the size of its Metropolitan Council. I’m grateful to Director of Law Wally Dietz and his team for their excellent work throughout this litigation. The Metro Charter gives Nashvillians the right to determine the size of our Metro Council, and as recently as 2015, we decisively concluded we prefer 40 members.”
