Retire

In the past I have been a supporter of former Mayor Willie Herenton, even sometimes when he went too far. I won't be in that group this time. After long contemplation and consideration, he really hurt this city and it is starting to show. The personal favors and the labor unions are robbing us blind. With a twelve year retirement plan with no restrictions on what age it starts. Will prove to be devastating. Herenton and a few of his buddies made some money, that the taxpaying citizens will be paying back for years to come. Since he already took his money in a lump sum. He should retire.
