Why don't you move north and take the ass of a mayor with you? I was born and raised in NJ and after 9/11 (age 37) I moved here to get away from liberal wackos like you who have turned many sections of NJ into 3rd world dumps with your "progressive thinking". I cannot stonmach the ASS from MASS nor your views. Please vacate America and go to some other county like Russia. Americans hate your ilk and we ain't ashamed to say it! Mary Mancini get a grip.

Foreign companies don’t care if the only language spoken at Metro Center is English. The courting of companies to come here is done by the private sector. Mayors, senators, etc. act as an official head of state in that process. Any company wanting to open an office or relocate here is solely interested in making money [yea, that's in the private sector]. You mean to tell me that Nissan Corporation relocated to TN because multiple languages are offered at City Hall? Tourism? Karl, do you really want to open that debate? Why don’t you exercise some effort and diligence and require cab drivers to learn English so that our tourists enjoy their visit to Music City and go back home with great stories about Nashville and NOT a negative story about how bad the cab drivers are in our great city! A recent letter to the editor by F. Delk wrote about a joke. “What do you call a person who speaks one language?” “American” That is so narrow-minded of a comment, Fay. Encourage people to learn multiple languages for their benefit and prosperity WHEN they exercise their multi-linguistic acumen while doing business, commerce or personal tasks. But when voting, doing official government business, do it in ENGLISH. Please support by voting YES on January 22nd, 2009 at your Nashville voting precinct.
