Russell PerkinsDavidson County Chancellor Russell Perkins today canceled a property tax referendum that was set to go before voters on July 27, saying the petition calling for the election was invalid, Tennessee Lookout reports. Perkins wrote that the group did not follow proper procedure when it suggested two possible election dates for the referendum — neither of which was eventually chosen — rather than one as required by law. Perkins also ruled that the anti-tax provision in the petition was unconstitutional and could not go on the ballot.
