Tennessean Has Latest Response from Diane Neighbors

Council Member at Large Diane Neighbors, the subject of allegations of deceiving constituents and showing favoritism to special business interests, sent out an e-mail to her fellows this morning, and she shared it with the Tennessean. She insists that "ample time" has been given to the public for what a previous bill sponsor hoped would be a "full and honest" discussion of a special exemption for car wash developers, who will no longer have to consult neighborhood associations or council members before building if the resolution passes tonight on third reading.
