I hope you continue to be involved in Memphis. Memphis is on life support when it comes to politics and politicians. I believe progress will come for Memphis and my neck of the woods ONE DAY. New blood and ideas is desperately needed in Shelby County. I am not a native and I can remember the looks I received when I start going to the Mayor and Board of Aldermen meetings. The looks were worst when I start challenging some of the decisions and effective in stopping some things that were not in the best interest of the community.

Memphis is your home just like Millington is my home. I am the first to say Millington is a diamond in the rough and it is time for Shelby County to stop treating Millington like a red headed step child. It is not there yet, but Millington is trying to progress forward.

We may not be native Memphians or Millington’s, but we damn sure have every right to be involved when decisions from the Mayor’s office have an impact on our lives. Keep doing what you do. Finally, I was appalled by Joe Brown’s outburst and it was an embarrassment.
