I don’t really have a lot to say this morning. I think I said myself out yesterday. Speaking of yesterday, the “sense of the commission” resolution on consolidation passed 6-3-1. Two commissioners weren’t in attendance at the time of the vote. The matter comes up again on Monday. Send your Commissioner an email in...
Busy morning this am. No time for strange screeds or anything like that. School started for me yesterday, and I have more reading to do than a speed reader tackling the federal tax code. We’ll probably be experiencing some lighter than the already light schedule of blogging over the next few weeks. Of course,...
A poll released yesterday by Yacoubian Research shows that the race for Shelby County Mayor is tightening, though the end results are well within the margin of error. The poll, conducted last week shows the gap seperating Democratic Nominee Joe Ford and Republican Nominee Mark Luttrell tightening from 5% to 3% with significant gains...
For those of you who don’t know, Joe Biden is in the state today for the TNDP Jackson Day. I know a lot of folks can’t make it, but I’ll be there just waiting for the gaffe to drop, or a random F-Bomb. I love Joe Biden. I’m not sure how ticket sales have...
Tonight, Pat Benatar graces the state at the Memphis Botanic Garden’s yearly concert series, Live at the Garden. I still remember the first time I heard a song by Pat Benatar. I was probably 8 or 9 years old and living in Osceola, AR. We were eating dinner at “Ken’s Pizza” when someone played...
Sometimes people say things without fully considering the long-term impact of their words. Actually, it happens more often than you think. So when Republican Shelby County Mayoral Candidate Mark Luttrell was asked in a recent candidate forum about issuing County ID cards to immigrants for the purpose of giving them easier access to law...
It’s a busy morning, and well, I’m a little behind. So instead of trying to come up with something clever, I’m gonna have to take this coffee to go. – Looks like some somebodies forgot something. Whoopsie. Thelma Harper is awesome Shelby County Mayoral candidates Joe Ford and Mark Luttrell go at it again....
It seems that its milestone time around here. Last week we passed out 1000th post, then we had our first speaking gig and now we have our first full week without the shenanigans of the legislature. While that may seem like a big change for a little blog that’s spent a lot of time...
There’s an article in today’s Memphis Daily News about Shelby County Republican Mayoral Candidate, Mark Luttrell’s position on consolidation. It’s looking like he’s not too happy with how the negotiations are going. From the article: He began his campaign before the May 4 primaries by saying he would wait to see what the Metro...
Strange Signs
There are a lot of things I don’t understand, and this picture is one of them. How does someone support the most liberal member of the Tennessee delegation to Congress, and two Republicans who are anything but liberals? I won’t rush to judgement. For all I know these folks are personal friends of all...
