This should show all those people that are against Myron Lowery that he is now the Mayor of Memphis. This man knows the charter at least as well as anyone else because he was one of the people who put it together. The other black council member who was involved in it's rewriting is Janis Fullilove and no one has mentioned her. Myron Lowery is a smart man who has undoubtedly done his homework before he makes a move. Just look at his past modus operandi. He has filed a lawsuit against two major employers and won. While his detractors were busy cracking jokes and sl5apping each other on the back. He was somewhere busy planning his method of attack.
You can catch more Bees with honey than you can vinegar. Myron Lowery is a Bee these days you would definitely like to catch. If I was an elected official I wouldn't get involved in these little citizen squabbles. You might be doing your causes more harm than good. The city council breakdown is six and six with Lowery being the deciding vote. Like Obama he has the numbers on his side. He also has sole contracting authority for the next three months. We don't have to worry about anything like the Beale Street debacle that's still tied up in court. The ones who have to worry is those who served at the mayor's pleasure. One thing is for certain and two things are for sure. Willie Herenton is no longer the mayor and Myron Lowery is the man.

Myron Lowery, 62, was sworn in as the 66th mayor of Memphis by United States District Court Judge Hardy Mays this afternoon.
For Lowery, a handover of mayor's title and duties, as of 12:01 this morning
“What you will get from Myron Lowery is good government,” said Lowery, who will serve as Mayor Pro Tem for 90 days. “We will be energetic in city government.”
Lowery said he would focus on reducing crime and that he would bring “ethical leadership” to city government.
After taking the ceremonial oath of office, Lowery announced several high-profile appointments that will help him guide the city until a special election is held Oct. 27.
Calling it the “worst kept secret in city government,” Lowery said he was nominating former city councilman Jack Sammons to be his chief administrative officer. Lowery’s appointments will not be official until the City Council approves them Tuesday and they are only serving in an advisory capacity until that point.
“The great thing about America is the peaceful transition of power and that is what we are experiencing today,” said Sammons, who served four council terms between 1988 and 2007. “We are working through the noise and chaos, but as the young people say, it’s all good.”
He gave an excellent interview on Bev Johnson's show. I didn't hear the whole thing but what I heard I liked.
