ALERT: TN Senate likely to subvert neighborhood quality of life across TN. If you want your town to be able to address whether homes next to you can be 24/7 Airbnb commercial hotels, tell all your TN friends to call their senator TODAY & say #NoSB1086 Please #defendlocal control!


One of myriad reasons why investor-owned STRPs are NOT compatible w/ residential #neighborhoods. TN cities listen, learn, & legislate locally. #defendlocal #nopreemption Please speak up! Contact your state senator Sun/Mon. to oppose Bill 1086. #NoSB1086 knoxnews.com/story/opinion/…

Critical discussion of local preemption by Kim Haddow, Director of the Local Solutions Support Center, at #CapCon19. Notice a certain space station? That's a nod to 2015 PA 105, the sweeping Death Star bill, preempting local gov't action on a host of important policy issues.

Wherein #tnleg mandates grandfathering an annual permit & shows cities all across TN that Airbnb runs the show & corporate lobbying interests matter more than collective will of citizens & work of local elected officials. An annual permit is NOT a property right. #defendlocal

Parramore residents upset over new gun store opening

They worry the store will attract crime.


Must read by Kim Haddow on preemption, corporate anti-democratic program to limit local govts' ability to self-govern, eg. setting local wages or protect their community. Coming soon: TX leg will try to gut Austin & San Antonio's paid leave. #DefendLocal wapo.st/2Q7UgDt?tid=ss…
