Nashville residents gathered this week before the Metro Council to share their priorities for the city budget during the annual pre-budget comment period, WPLN News reports. The session allows the public to put requests on record before Mayor Freddie O’Connell submits his budget proposal. The council will consider these requests when crafting a potential alternative ahead of the official budget hearing in June. This year’s requests included funding for gun violence prevention, transit access, affordable housing, youth sports, the arts and court-appointed attorneys. The mayor is required to file his budget by the end of April.
