A review of the Metro Nashville budget for Fiscal Year (FY) 2027 reveals that more money was appropriated as grants for the Tennessee Immigrant and Refugee Rights Coalition (TIRRC) and Tennessee Justice for Our Neighbors (TNJFON), two nonprofits that provide support to illegal aliens, than the city spends on more recognizable expenses including unemployment, the Historical Commission, and an audit for Metro Nashville Public Schools.
Appropriations totaling $735,000 for TIRRC and $718,000 for TNJFON were included in the FY 2027 budget proposed by Mayor Freddie O’Connell in May and were included in the $3.85 billion budget passed by the Metro Council last month. Together, the nonprofits are slated to receive about $1.453 million.

Declaring Independence is one thing. Living it is another.
