Nashville's Tax Revolt Spreads to Memphis

The tax revolt that Nashville voters planted on election day is already sprouting in Memphis. While Memphis' political establishment and media will, no doubt be opposed to amending the city charter to give voters the right to reject or accept property taxes via referendum, I'm going to make an early prediction, before the petition gatherers even start gathering signatures and get the measure on the next city election ballot: It will pass by a landslide.
