Nashville mayor under fire for comments about downtown business closing

Nashville Mayor Freddie O'Connell is facing intense criticism following his comments regarding the potential closure of the iconic Acme Feed & Seed. Owner Tom Morales cited a massive property tax increase from $129,000 to $600,000 as a primary threat to the business. The Mayor's response, which suggested that property owners must determine how to 'capture value' in a shifting market, has been slammed by some as insensitive to the struggles of beloved local heritage sites.
