Turning Down Free Money On Principle

By Kleinheider Posted on June 17, 2008 at 12:16 pm

Mike Byrd wonders if Councilman Eric “English First” Crafton will have the minerals to stand on principle and fight against accepting a grant from the State of Tennessee to pay for interpreters for indigents:

We’ll see if he chooses to fight this bill even though it requires no matching funds from Metro. It’s free money. But according to Crafton, his fight is on principle and patriotism; so, if he is as authentic as he claims to be about English, then he should fight this resolution tonight.
