says commissioners dragged legislation into election politics after criticism of charter change which applies in effect only to Brentwood Several Brentwood commissioners turned the heat on Tennessee House Rep Gino Bulso for a bill that would allow the city to enter into a public-private agreement on recreational sports facilities Bulso was publicly rebuked by commissioners Nelson Andrews Anne Dunn and Rhea Little during last Monday night’s Board of Commissioners meeting because they felt they had been left in the dark about the bill which gave the city a new power under its charter in the state code “One single man took it upon himself to get our city charter amended,” Dunn said during the meeting “I'm just saying I have a little problem with that Andrews began the discussion during his own comments during Monday’s meeting “Brentwood governance shouldn't operate through favors placed at the dinner table or through back channel conversations and this is what transparency matters,” Andrews said “When decisions get made behind closed doors we all lose the opportunity to weigh the consequences and it puts us at risk of costs and mistakes.” He added: “The political connection isn't really a secret,” noting that Bulso and Mayor Mark Gorman sat together at the Williamson County GOP Reagan Day Gala in Franklin on February 17 along with commissioners Allison Spears and Susanna Macmillan Bulso did say he had been in contact with the mayor about the bill when I've carried legislation that affects the city of Brentwood my dealings have always been with the mayor,” Bulso said “I don't go and talk to all five commissioners because he was mayor at the time when we changed the city manager commission charter statute [in 2023] to increase the threshold from $10,000 to $25,000 at which a city manager could approve contracts without getting commission approval if we were going to do something with the bill and all the commissioners had a chance to discuss it and then all the commissioners had a chance to to vote on it Dunn said in the meeting that the commissioners were never asked about the legislation or had a chance to vote on a resolution to support it or not our mayor did not communicate to all of us,” Dunn told the Williamson Scene adding that she wasn’t aware of the details of the legislation until March “I can understand why [Mayor Gorman] might not have wanted to email all of us but at one of our bi-monthly informational meetings he could have brought it up in a public setting.” Bulso introduced HB 65 / SB 495 (sponsored in the Senate by District 28 Sen who represents a portion of Williamson County) which “authorizes a city incorporated under a city manager-commission charter to contract with a private entity for the development or operation of an indoor or outdoor sports facility under terms acceptable to the city.” That bill was later amended to restrict its impact to those governments with a AAA bond rating an amendment which Bulso recognized during the legislative process would mean the bill only affects Brentwood at this time It received little discussion and debate as it moved through numerous subcommittees and committees and onto the House and Senate floor “Obviously I've been in contact with many of the commissioners about it because I was interested in the project from the very beginning,” Bulso told the Williamson Scene at the March 28 Policy Talks event in Franklin adding that he began working on the bill in September or October 2024 said he considered serving on the city’s Racquet Facility Ad Hoc Committee which published a report on the proposed project in 2023 but instead “kept close tabs on it” and insisted that he hadn’t been lobbied by commissioners to sponsor the bill According to Brentwood Community Relations Director Charles Booth city administration first learned about the bill “in mid-February as part of a bill report from the city’s lobbyist.” “City staff was not involved in conversations with the sponsors about the legislation,” Booth said in an email Dunn and Little] that were trying to attack me all knew on February 13 about this legislation and in the almost three months since then they never once came to me and expressed any kind of issue with it or even wanted to talk about it,” Bulso said That February 13 date was when Bulso spoke to a Leadership Brentwood group which included Andrews Andrews brought the bill up publicly during the February 24 commission meeting “Gino Bulso mentioned two bills that he's submitting on behalf of the Brentwood city commission,” Andrews said in that February meeting does anyone know what those are and can anyone elaborate on what the two bills are on behalf of Brentwood and what the content is I just know he was working on something,” Vice Mayor Ken Travis responded while the rest of the commission sat in silence well that's strange that he would mention submitting two bills on behalf of Brentwood if none of the commissioners have any idea what that is,” Andrews said Travis told the Williamson Scene after the discussion at the meeting last Monday that he learned about the bill “in early March.” Travis sent out an email newsletter that reads in part “I received the following notification this week: Upon Governor Lee’s signature the City of Brentwood will have the opportunity to partner with a private individual or company on a Racquet Facility — and we already have a highly interested private partner!” Macmillan told the Williamson Scene that she heard about the bill when Andrews brought it up in February and that “4/19 was the first time I learned about it being on the Governor's desk waiting for a signature,” via Travis’ email “I had no backroom dealings or involvement whatsoever in the bill that Gino put forth [nor] have I had any conversations with any potential partners other than the ones who came to public meetings previously,” Macmillan said during the meeting The Williamson Scene asked for a comment from both Gorman and Spears, who were sitting beside each other on Monday night, but Gorman ignored the question. Following reporting on an ethics inquiry turned ethics complaint against Gorman he now refuses to speak in person with the Williamson Scene and has directed that all questions be emailed to him After repeated attempts to ask Spears she asked the Williamson Scene to email her our questions but neither Gorman nor Spears returned our emailed request for comment The Williamson Scene specifically asked Gorman and Spears if the bill was a result of "favors placed at the dinner table or backchannel conversations" with either Rep Neither elected official answered the question Gorman and Spears also refused to say when they first became aware of the bill we got three commissioners up there that are concealing information,” Bulso said “Not one of them said that they knew about this legislation on February 13 and did nothing about it to contact me.” Gorman, Spears and Little are the three incumbent commissioners up for election in this race Little pushed back on Bulso’s statement that he had been pulled into the ongoing drama ahead of the contentious May 6 city election but never talked to all seven commissioners and so he's the one that attached himself to it,” Little said “He's the one that sponsored the bill … It was the way he went about it I actually thought that was bad politically but he's talking to the four commissioners apparently that wanted it,” Little said Little confirmed that he didn't attempt to reach out to Bulso about the bill “I did reach out to some people that know the legislature and I was told that [the bill] was a freight train running through if you're from Weakley County or Grundy County or Knox County and even the cities that have city manager-city commission charters it's not going to affect them because they don't have a AAA bond rating,” Little continued Bulso was asked during a subcommittee meeting on March 5 how many city manager-commission charter governments have a AAA bond rating according to the state’s Comptroller of the Treasury “It was so specific to our city,” Little said “that I wouldn't be surprised if it's not legally challenged because I don't think the legislature should be designing a bill because they represent the state that is for one specific community I think that that can lead to a lot of abuse.” The state has lost several lawsuits that involved bills which specifically targeted the Metropolitan Government of Nashville. So far, courts have sided mostly with Metro’s arguments in decisions that repeatedly overturned those laws “We should not be the last to know when one state representative who believes in local government and local control and he purports to belong to the most conservative part of that conservative party Email notifications are only sent once a day We're always interested in hearing about news in our community.
