Help Save the Race Track/Fairgrounds

If you have read the newspaper or watched the news there could be a great injustice going on at the [Nashville, TN] Fairgrounds/Race Track. They (city) are trying to take your Fair Grounds and sell it to a Developer and move your State Fair and you the people of the State of TN that is your property and you have a say on if you want the Fair to Stay or Go. You the people of the State of TN need to tell the Fair Board to leave your property alone. And leave the State Fair right where it is. And fix it up. The City/State does not need to burden on the tax payers to move the Fairgrounds. Because, if they move the Fairgrounds the property taxes around the Fairgrounds property will go up. No, this is not right at all. According to the City Charter the Fair Board can not sell that property and could be a great injustice being done to the people of the State of TN.

Where you need to look in the City Charter is Administration Fair Board Commissioners Acts of 1909 Chapter 490 Section 7 and this was passed 1909.


The other matter is the Race Track and truthfully that is part of NASCARS History.To all would you all please find in your heart to help us save the Race Track at the Fairgrounds here in Nashville, TN.? As some of you know they are trying to do a way with the State Fair and also the Race Track so if you like racing please sign this petition. http://www.petitiononline.com/RaceFair/petition.html

I am just one person and I alone can not stop what could be an great injustice by myself I need the people of the State of TN to help so I call on you the people of the State of TN to stand with me and help me fight what could be an great injustice. And together we can beat the Fair Board and the City.

Here is my proposal that I have sent on behalf of the people of the State of TN.

Lisa Leeds, Libertarian Candidate for Tennessee House
58, calls for Fair Board to follow the Metro Charter
Nashville, Tennessee, August 6, 2008: Lisa Leeds the Libertarian candidate for
Tennessee House District 58 recognizes that America is a land of law, where everyone
including the government must follow the law. As the Constitution is the supreme law
of the land, a municipal charter is the supreme law of a Municipality, such as
Metropolitan Nashville and Davidson Count. Just as elected and appointed officials are
under oath to uphold the Constitution, so everyone in Metro Government is bound to
uphold the Metro Charter.
As the Fair Board is considering the future of the State Fairground and Music City
Motorplex, they are bound under oath to uphold the Metro Charter. The Charter requires
Metro government to operate a State Fair on the property unless “bad weather, fire,
storm, pestilence, war, etc” occur. Lisa Leeds offers the only proposal that follows the
Metro Charter.
A Proposal for the Tennessee State Fairgrounds outlines a number of ways the fair
grounds can be improved and made more viable and profitable. While the Charter
requires Metro Government to operate the fair and maintain the fairground it allows a
certain degree of flexibility in implementing these solutions. A Proposal for the
Tennessee State Fairgrounds includes components that will improve the fairgrounds
while eventually saving the taxpayers money. While some of the improvements, such as
installing solar panels on the roofs of building might be implemented with government
funding, they actually could contribute to greatly reducing the cost of operating the
fairgrounds. This proposal honors the charter while meeting the needs of the community
and the fine people of the State of Tennessee.

District 58, short statements, or to schedule a full interview please contact Lisa Leeds for
Tennessee House 58 at (615) 275-5279 or visit www.lisaleeds2008.com. END
