Another Cohen Casualty

The John Wright of Memphis Politics has struck again. Steve Cohen has this city fooled. They haven't learned to watch how he votes. He won his race hands down, but those he vouched for lost. I don't know when these locals are going to realize he plays both sides of the fence. Why would he avoid the hotbed issue of school consolidation until now? The majority of the the 9th district is in the city not the county.  Especially when he is going to go against his constituents and side with the suburbs. He knew the blacks would vote for him regardless and the suburbanites wouldn't .

The latest victims are Kenneth Whalum and Freida Williams. Both of them lost  their seats last night. They started campaigning for the new school board too soon. By voting not to surrender the charter. They bit the hand  that feeds them. The plan was never for them to keep their jobs. They were a  bit naive.  After they saw that the county was never playing fair. Then they both tried to back peddle and change their positions, but it was too late . When Randy Wade ran for sheriff against Bill Oldham. Steve Cohen was quiet as a whisper. In spite of Randy Wade manning the front line for him. I don't  even remember him doing a commercial.  From top cop to a secretary is quite a jump.  These people  are instrumental in getting him reelected. But when it comes to their own race.  They are just another Cohen casualty.
