Crafton turns in signatures for English Only

Mon, Aug 18 2008

Councilman Eric Crafton turned in the signatures of reportedly 12,503 registered Davidson County voters to the Metro Clerk’s office Thursday, clearing the way for the English Only charter amendment proposal to be on the ballot in November.

Crafton also conceded at least a portion of the approximately $20,000 the petition drive cost came from a national English First group. He said he did not know what percentage.

“I wasn’t the one adding them up, so I don’t know how much,” Crafton said.
