Metro Council will tonight reconsider a proposal to host the Republican National Convention in 2024, the Tennessean reports. Councilmember Robert Swope last month pulled his resolution to bring the convention to Nashville before a vote due to lack of support, but last week refiled it in a final attempt to secure council support. Swope also filed a resolution that would welcome the RNC to Nashville and "open a dialogue" with state lawmakers to allow Nashville to impose development impact fees, which could be used to fund the infrastructure and schools strained by booming development. The Republican National Committee will make a final decision during its Aug. 5 meeting, but its site selection panel has unanimously recommended Milwaukee as the location for the 2014 convention.
