‘The lie they’re telling is so egregious.’ Former Metro Councilmember seeks investigation into Fairgrounds Speedway petition canvassers

A former Metro Councilmember in Nashville is challenging a petition campaign seeking to end auto racing at the Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway and replace it with affordable housing, alleging canvassers are misrepresenting the city's stance on demolition. The petition, which requires 10% of registered voters' signatures, faces scrutiny over claims that city officials have not authorized such changes, with the councilmember requesting an investigation into alleged fraudulent tactics.
