Nashville Mayor Freddie O’Connell on Friday introduced four pieces of legislation in response to recent racist activities in Nashville, The Tennessean reports. The bills would clarify the city’s mask ordinance, ban the hanging of banners over highways, prohibit distributing flyers after dark on private property and create a buffer zone around public buildings. “When political violence prevents government functions or creates public safety issues, we must have the tools in our toolkit to respond effectively,” O’Connell said.
