English Only Fight Not Over in Tennessee Despite Nashville Vote

     Tennessee Governor Phil Bredesen praised voters in Nashville for turning down an English only referendum.
     The measure, that would have prevented city government from using any language but English, failed by more than nine-thousand votes.
     The governor said the voters spoke "loudly in support of moving Nashville forward in important areas like new business recruiting and tourist development."
     The measure would have made Nashville the largest city in America to prohibit translations into other languages.
     But Thursday's vote hasn't changed the mind of one Tennessee lawmaker.
     Senator Bill Ketron says he will introduce a bill this session requiring the state to give the written driver's test only in English.
     The Murfreesboro lawmaker says Nashville voters don't reflect the feelings of the rest of the state.
     Two years ago, his bill passed in the senate but died in a house sub-committee.
