This Charter Commission, Is Like A Rebellious Child *

How do you feel, when your children question your authority in your house? I know the first thing the supporters of the charter commission, are going to say. They are not children, and that's true. For the sake of comparison, let's just pretend you are. What strength does this commission have, without the citys backing? It doesn't have any teeth, like the citizens review board. Only allowing the clique, to be policed by the clique. It will be more symbolic than anything else. Like a child wanting to tell you what to do, when you have to pay the bills. Without the support of a parent or guardian, they would have nothing. They don't have the right to make any demands, only requests. Everyones opinion counts, but there has to be a final say. When you don't want to follow the rules of the house. It's time to get your own place. In the case of elected officials, vote them out of office.

The leader of this drive, doesn't even live in Memphis. John Lunt is a resident of Germantown. You can bet he won't be looking out, for the residents of Memphis interest. I would bet a months wages, that his concerns are of a business nature. This is just another attempt of those outside the city limits, forcing their way in city affairs. They have gathered a group of malcontents for whatever reason. To join forces with them in trying to circumvent the administration. In my opinion Consolidation of city and county, will eventually happen. The people with vision see what's happening. This is a last ditch effort, to retain some semblance of power. In a setting that's quickly becoming a thing of the past.

I find it intresting how the city government, is dealing with this reocurring problem. They aren't continuing to fight in court, that would cost the taxpayers too much money. They are stacking the deck with candidates. City councilmen and state represenatives to name a few. For those that helped get this thing off the ground, the focus has already changed. This came up before the recall of the mayor. Could the sudden attention to this, be a way of undermining that?

I saw something similar to this in the Commercial Appeal.

The deck has been further stacked. Today I learned Janis Fullilove is running for the charter commission.I don't know exactly what district she is running in, but she'll probably win. Those used to get this thing off the ground, are slowly being squeezed out. With the people running for this board. If all expected candidates win, as expected. It will be business as usual.

Metro,

I appreciate your sending me this information, however, should I win it won't be business as usual. I want what's best for you, me, my grandmother, ;your mother, father, etc. I want to serve to try and make a difference in the lives of people. I'm not a self serving individual but one who desperately wants to serve. It's not about power but about responsiblity. It's not about money because there won't be any in this seat. John Lunt started something for reasons that I don't beleive are actually admirable, but I want to make the board is.
