FYI

This argument about the Mayor of Memphis making too much money is nonsense. There are other cities with not as many citizens and more reported crime, where the Mayor makes more than Mayor Herenton does even after getting the raise. Since cities like Boston and Washington are so far away. Let's compare somewhere closer to home. If Southaven, MS at 41,295 people and Memphis, TN at 670,970 people compared their Mayor's salaries and adjusted them accordingly... based on $130K for Southaven, the Memphis Mayor would earn $2,112,053!
