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.
