I usually agree with Mayor W.W. Herenton but he left me behind on this one. From what I can see his refusal to hand over the reigns of the MSARC revolves around one thing, or should I say one person. I just found out that one of the deputy directors of the rape crisis center is the infamous Yolanda McFadgon. This pretty, high yellow woman is going to be an Achilles heel for the mayor. Her name keeps coming up over and over with these highly paid appointed positions she keeps getting. I never knew the employment outlook for convicted felons with no prior experience was so bright. Since being released from prison she has held at least two jobs as director of different programs courtesy of the mayor. Considering all the heat surrounding her last position. One which was created just for her. I'm surprised she left her comfort zone. Her latest post obviously paid more money.Just when any possibility of saving face for Herenton is lost, in steps County Mayor A.C. Wharton offering him a way out. I'm glad Herenton didn't let pride prevent him from changing his mind. Wharton allowed Herenton to concede his faulty position without looking like he gave in to white council members who were at the forefront of calling for the switch. I know where the mayor was coming from, the main issue is him. The problem is regardless why they made the claim. This time the council is right. I don't know how these council members feel about consolidation, but this is yet another merging of services. I don't know if everyone can see the big picture, but for those who do. It's happening little by little.

I don't think this is about consolidation, it is too haphazard.
ReplyDeleteI don't think it was planned that way but that's one of the positives that will result from this. I bet it came up in their private discussion.

The Shelby Commission voted 13-0 today for the county health department to take over operation of the Memphis Sexual Assault Resource Center from the city of Memphis.
The commission follows the recent announcement of a similar agreement from county Mayor A C Wharton and city Mayor Willie Herenton. Many details are still unclear, including the exact cost of the change and the role of Le Bonheur Children’s Medical Center, which has declared its willingness to help young victims.
Representatives of advocacy groups praised the commission for its action, which follows an outcry over reports that teenage victims were turned away from the center because staffers weren’t available on a weekend earlier this year.
The center provides medical help to sexual assault victims and its specially trained nurses gather evidence from their bodies for prosecution of rapists.
