Not symptomatic, but the unrealized gain of the federal funding encourages me to support potential of the trend of new, young Nashvillians in Mayor Dean's staff. These are the types of issues that they carry anew to our existing government's attention. Please take the time to familiarize yourself with them and speak to your common interests, this is why we elect our congressmen, our governor, and our mayor and his subsequent appointees!
