But the corporations will give it back to you through stock dividends from increased profits... 🤔🙄 ...um, after CEO pay, millions $$ to lobbyists, and even if they would give dividends, how many Americans have any stock/IRA/401k? Let me tell you: not most.

With this airport law just passed by the state legislature, I sure hope the appointees made by state politicians include folks from Kentucky, because I run into people from Bowling Green and beyond every time I'm at BNA. (satire)

Who are we going to recruit to run against CM Eslick in D11 in 2027? We need a trustworthy, decent, and principled leader there, and no one has come forward yet, only an attention-seeking has-been turncoat.

Congrats on the game last night. We were out celebrating a friend’s birthday and every person but us hollered when that shot went in. Thank dog for replay. What a shot.

Here’s hoping you got the final wrong though. 〽️

Emily Benedict @emilyfor7.bsky.social · 30/03/2026

I got a lot of it wrong but I (🤞) got the important part right.

Re: ban of Pride flags in government buildings… “Charlie Kirk Day” “bible in school” I guess those are not about any particular political view? Bulso and his cronies are hypocrites, and it couldn’t be more glaring than this.

I was truly dead. More than very funny.

@currylee.bsky.social really brings game and I’m here for it. Thanks for coming out. Especially with such profound and direct insight.

I’m done by like 8:30 every night. Council nights like this are painful.

Exactly. My blood runs apathetic.

Watching CBS Sunday Morning segment about the struggle to get a Desert Storm Memorial in D.C., and I'm reminded how much Gen X is just not thought about in this country.

Odd number with Body President coming from within makes perfect option for tie breaking. So 11 or 13 (10 or 12 voting). Otherwise, if Body President continues to be a separate office, an even number of CMs is ideal.

Emily Benedict @emilyfor7.bsky.social · 12/02/2026

Just seeing this nine days later, but I’m going to take this in the context of you *always* agreeing with me.

Please make it not be about snow and speed cushions

I stand with my Council colleagues. Thank you for your leadership.

If I were a moral and Christ-following Republican in the legislature I may want to push back on the Governor. Jesus would feed needy children. 🤷‍♀️

Crews worked way faster than expected, and they anticipate they will have the road back open before 1pm! Thank you to our Metro workers for always coming through for us!

Morning! In Inglewood (part of D7) Gallatin at Greenland (near the fire station) is closed for the next ~8 hours. Huge tanker spill. All crews are on site (Fire, OEM, MNPD, TDEC) and the spill is contained. None of it went into the water supply.

Happy holidays y’all! Off grid. ✌️ See you in 2026.

Annual donation hit my bank this week and I didn’t recognize it. Looked it up and got a warm, fuzzy feeling when I realized it was the @tennesseelookout.com. Worth every penny. Donate today.

Long term closure would be disastrous for East Nashville and Downtown. Potentially massive safety and quality of life issue. Working to get more certainty here. www.nashvillepost.com/politics/met...

Thank you for being on top of this and alerting me right away. 🙏

ICE spotted in Inglewood. D7 has a large immigrant population, plus ICE targets Home Depot and we have one of those. If you see ICE call Music City MigraWatch 615-933-8409.

You should see my inbox for past couple of years. No recall efforts 🤣 but plenty of bickering.

Emily Benedict @emilyfor7.bsky.social · 07/12/2025

It’s temporary, and at this point, pretty much when NDOT offers in these needed locations, I accept. Then we make permanent changes. I don’t think LiDAR will remain but it may gather data for the engineers in the short term.

Emily Benedict @emilyfor7.bsky.social · 05/12/2025

Correction: will be replaced Monday. LiDAR will also be placed then.

“Overkill” vandal hit Haysboro too. Wife and I lol when we walk by it.

Trump must be happy about that as he continues to paint the country white.

Emily Benedict @emilyfor7.bsky.social · 05/12/2025

He’s been involved. I set a meeting w NDOT and administration with him.

Emily Benedict @emilyfor7.bsky.social · 05/12/2025

Change it to Van Epstein just like the change to Andy Pinocchiogles.

Emily Benedict @emilyfor7.bsky.social · 05/12/2025

You are correct. NDOT should have them back up today.

Emily Benedict @emilyfor7.bsky.social · 05/12/2025

Btw, seeking Ring footage. NDOT will file police report for destruction of public property!

Emily Benedict @emilyfor7.bsky.social · 05/12/2025

😂 Snowflakes. Also, it proves they are working.

Emily Benedict @emilyfor7.bsky.social · 05/12/2025

…lower speed limit too, but again - I hate to throw this out there bc I truly don’t yet know what they are planning. It’s all being reviewed not. Lower speed limit must go to TPC. Also, I sent this to NDOT this week re other needs we have. These are asks, not promises.

130

Emily Benedict @emilyfor7.bsky.social · 05/12/2025

Agreed about communication. They haven’t decided on everything yet. They have a ton of feedback from me that they are evaluating. Hate to say what bc they may not do it all, but looking at new speed table, potential flashing yellow above intersection, maybe one way on Kennedy, change signs, and more

Emily Benedict @emilyfor7.bsky.social · 05/12/2025

NDOT didn’t remove the outer posts. A vandal did. Should be replaced today.

Emily Benedict @emilyfor7.bsky.social · 04/12/2025

Save your glitter for throwing at ICE agents

We all need more fun and positivity in our lives. Come join the South Inglewood Neighborhood Association to wrap up this project today at Riverside Village!

Excited to be in @newschannel5plus.bsky.social at 7p with CM Johnston. Call in with a q about anything!
