I think you should consider running for council at large. Let's get rid of the snippity snips who think they are better than those of us who like racing. They are child like in behavior when they don't get their way and they have the nerve to point fingers at us. I'm sick and tired of paying them to play games....!!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10827707469929999170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10635442.post-36643900650562388492011-04-03T21:29:21.562-05:002011-04-03T21:29:21.562-05:00I have always wanted to say with regard to SNAP:

Or in the case of Buck Dozier, favors have been made and per the emails released via the Freedom of Information Act, the dealings between Dozier and Dean are suspect.<br /><br />Ned Horton, a fair board member, lives near the fairgrounds (just behind Douglas Corner Cafe on 8th Ave.) Horton has been involved in real estate within one half mile of the fairgrounds. Dean Advisor, Jim Hester used to be employed by Horton. Ned Horton's marketing company did the web-site for Dean's election campaign. His company may still be working with Horton. Hester brought Horton and his company into the fold.<br /><br />Dean Advisor Jim Hester brought in Horton because he sides with Dean. This displays a huge amount of arrogance on the part of Jim Hester AND Karl Dean (Dean should have vetted the relationship between Hester and Horton. And perhaps, Hester did not disclose his previous relationship with Horton, to Dean). <br /><br />More importantly, Horton was paid money by Dean for the campaign web-site. And now, he has been "rewarded" with a seat on the fair board committee. <br /><br />Council-at-Large person, Megan Barry is aware of this conflict of interest. This is a major, ethical violation. Mrs. Barry had the chance to address this issue. But she did not.<br /><br />Megan Barry is a culprit in this situation. She is not to be trusted. She has proved her mettle. And she has little.<br /><br />Therefore, Megan Barry should be charged with unethical conduct by Metro Council, or any bodies that oversee such matters.<br /><br />Any other council members who are complicit in the matter of Horton being appointed to the fair board should also be charged.<br /><br />My comments may seem strong, but they are not far-fetched. I have known Barry and Hester for over 15 years.<br /><br />I am willing to put aside friendship and speak my mind with regards to their behavioir.<br /><br />My fellow Nashvillians are more important to me than my relationships with Mrs. Barry and Mr. Hester.Boyer H.

Customer input was heavily in favor of moving the program back to Saturday night. Many fans work on Saturday and then have an evening out with the family on Saturday night.shane smileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17877361573148237681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10635442.post-69851700684436712792011-04-03T19:38:10.000-05:002011-04-03T19:38:10.000-05:00Well said.Well said.shane smileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17877361573148237681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10635442.post-59079499853347843992011-04-03T19:24:27.213-05:002011-04-03T19:24:27.213-05:00The neighbor's proposal seems pretty reasonabl...The neighbor's proposal seems pretty reasonable.

They have lost the war, yet want one last bloody battle. Fortunately, it's an ill-fated move on their part. Good luck to the new promoter and let's all go out and enjoy these night-time races on non- flea market weekends!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
