Our recent Op-Ed in The Tennessean explains why we decided to write a mission statement for Nashville — what we are calling a “Community Covenant” — and includes the text of the Covenant. It also lists the 50 candidates who have agreed, if elected, to sponsor or support the Community Covenant and its recommendations in the form of a non-binding resolution to the Metro Council.
