Description | Voters in Nashville have rejected prohibiting city government from using any language but English.
With 100 percent of precincts reporting, the measure was defeated on a vote of 41,752 to 32,144.
The vote means the city of nearly 600,000 people refused to become the largest in the U.S. to prohibit translating written and spoken communications for residents who speak no or little English. |
