Days after national Republican leaders tentatively selected Milwaukee for a national convention, state lawmakers believe Metro Nashville Council might have signed its “death warrant” by rejecting the event.

Retaliation against the capital city is likely to be rough when the General Assembly convenes in January, since little time is available for a special session before the Aug. 4 primary election.

Everything from an attempt to cut membership on the 40-member council to threats to stop state support of an East Bank road to rescinding a $500 million bond note for a Titans stadium construction project has been broached.

“That’s to be expected. You’re dealing with this supermajority that likes to bite the hand that feeds them, that’s keeping the lights on in all these rural counties. They still don’t understand the value and importance of Nashville because they are vindictive and petty,” said state Rep. Vincent Dixie, chairman of the House Democratic Caucus.
