Proposed charter revisions would cap tax increases, make it easier to recall officials A local attorney is pushing yet another change to city law that would limit city leaders’ power to raise taxes. Attorney Jim Roberts said this week that his group has mailed more than 200,000 petitions to Nashville voters, hoping to get six proposed revisions to the Metro Charter on the ballot in May or June. Last year, Roberts and his team secured the necessary signatures to get a different version of the proposal on the ballot, but a Nashville judge
deemed it illegal and said it could not go before Davidson County voters.
