I live in Robertson County, but work in Davidson County (Nashville). Yesterday, they held a special election to amend the Metro Charter by passing a law mandating Metro government to operate primarily in English. Supporters believe if English Only passes it will lead to a stronger Nashville - unified under one language. But opponents believe the proposal would hurt those who rely on government services the most. A half a millon dollars and a day later, the amendment was shot down.
To me, if I go to another country, I am forced to adapt to their language and customs. I have absolutely no problem with that. Why should it be any different here? Immigration doesn't really bother me, but I do not think we should have to spend extra money for multi-languaged documents and interpretors either. With regard to it hurting those who rely on government services the most . . . oh my word, I cannot get that riled up this early in the morning, but i'm sure some of you can express the screams that yearn to come from my Effing mouth. :-[ :-[
