He organized a petition drive and got a referendum on the ballot to require the approval of the voters before any property tax increases can be passed by the elected officials of Davidson County (Nashville).

That is great news. I am quite certain we could get that passed in Memphis / Shelby County.
I guess it is time to start looking towards '07! Keep up the good work..
