Where Are They Now

Mayor Myron Lowery has made himself available for all questions and comments from all the citizens of Memphis. I emphasize all because different groups have different concerns. For the past two days he has been making his rounds on the airwaves clearing up some of this misinformation that's circulating. Some of us like the chance to talk to our elected officials directly. For us he couldn't have made a better move. He went on the "Dre and Zeke Show" to address the white voters. Then he went on the "Bev Johnson Show" to address the blacks. Today he spent a hour and a half on the "Andrew Clarksenior Show" to talk to everybody that can or cannot vote. Yesterday he held an unprecedented town hall meeting down at City Hall.

I must admit initially I wasn't a Myron Lowery supporter, but since he took office on an interim basis that has changed. His first official action though controversial was an indication of things to come. I like the bold and decisive choices he has made in the past week. There is little if any doubt about what he is doing. His radio appearances are just icing on the cake. I appreciate him telling the black community where he draws the line and telling the whites Willie Herenton is no longer the mayor. Since he did a fine job of answering everybody and their unscripted questions.Why didn't he get any of the complaints and criticisms we hear and see on the radio and in the news paper? These people have what are known as stubborn facts. Those things they believe because they reject the truth. Andrew's producer Ms. Hardiman asked the million dollar question. "Where are they now"?
