HURRY UP AND PUSH THESE THINGS THROUGH, THERE IS A NEW CITY COUNCIL COMING TO TOWN!!!
We are seeing the last gasp of the current long running city council which will be replaced on January 1, 2008 with mostly new members. The recently reelected Mayor is doing his best to get things the way he wants before the new kids arrive. Look at what he has done so far with the approval and concurrence of the present city council.
1) A new President (Jerry Collins) of the MLGW without a national search for one with extensive utility experience. Obviously the Mayor wants to keep control of the money honey pot.
2) Herenton also suggested he'll consider shifting the city's sewer operations from Public Works, where Collins has presided, to MLGW. Watch your sewer fees go up.
3) Also he created a “Blight Division” with the approval of the City Council charged with tackling blight around town. Naturally, this creates two new high priced jobs (Director and Deputy Director) at $115,706 and $100,898 for two more Herenton cronies.
Look out folks, the tax increases are just around the corner.

Perhaps the first act of the "Blight Division" could be to remove the unsightly blight in the Mayor's Office?
