486f1efe-5d03-4bb5-ab51-b88cfa7ea762_mn.jpgVoters in Nashville made it clear that they do not speak English only. Yesterday a measure to make English the official language of all government business failed to pass. 57 percent of voters rejected the proposal. That is not a small margin. Seems that most voters agree with Tennessee Governor Phil Bredesen, who called the measure mean spirited.
