I wasn't aware of that. Sad. Phoenix had the Koch brothers trying to interfere and thankfully sanity prevailed.

I bet Nashville comes back with another proposal-- I just hope it isn't something watered down. Their last proposal even though I think you can always be more bold was amazing for a city their size. It is infuriating it was shot down.
