No Free Metro Money for You! Plus, Who’s on the May 5 Local Election Ballot?

If you were counting on that $26 Metro Water credit to cover your costs from the ice storm, think again: Metro Council rejected it at their meeting this week. On today’s Friday News Roundup, host Marie Cecile Anderson, newsletter editor Margaret Kingsbury, and executive producer Whitney Pastorek are digging into that meeting as well as the happenings in the state legislature, where the voucher expansion saga rolls on. We’re also talking about how gas prices are impacting food trucks and nonprofits, a slate of incredible festivals and events for this weekend, and getting you prepped for the May 5 Davidson County primary election, because early voting starts next week. Guess who’s running again!
