What’s the Mayor’s Plan to Stop White Supremacists? We Asked Him.

Host Grace Fuisz is on vacation, so we got the next best thing: Mayor Freddie O’Connell sits in for the Tuesday News Roundup with producer Marie Cecile Anderson and executive producer Whitney Pastorek. He’s talking about administrative accomplishments like the opening of permanent supportive housing facility Strobel House and the countywide expansion of Nashville Strong Babies; we also get updates on the frustrations of our Community Review Board, how he’s handling our neo-Nazi problem, and his rationale for keeping Wally Dietz as head of Metro Legal despite the controversies that have swirled around that department in the last year. (In related good news: late yesterday afternoon, Metro Legal won its lawsuit against the state's attempt to shrink the size of Metro Council, with a court declaring that law unconstitutional.) Plus: more on our upcoming transit referendum, and — now that Nissan Stadium kinda has no parking lot — his message to prospective tailgate partiers.
