Ronnie Steine Steps Up Against English First

By Kleinheider Posted on July 28, 2008 at 12:14 pm

The Metro Council could go on record next week against a proposal to make English Nashville’s official language.

A memorializing resolution introduced by Councilman Ronnie Steine would have the council ask voters to reject the English-only push led by Councilman Eric Crafton, who is trying to gather enough voters’ signatures to place the idea on the ballot in November. Under Steine’s non-binding resolution, the council would urge voters not to sign the petition cards Crafton has been sending out.
