The Davidson County Election Commission suffered another legal defeat in its dispute with the city over a proposed charter referendum, the Nashville Post reports. A Nashville judge had earlier agreed with the city's argument that the proposal was not proper under the metro statutes. The commission's Republican majority appealed and now an appeals court also has found in favor of the city. The paper reports that the commission has spent more than $700,000 on the legal battle to put a referendum on the ballot that would roll back the city’s 2020 property tax increase and require voter approval of future increases.
