As the official Memphis observer, here is my latest report on the new mayor. So far, as much as I can tell, the new mayor is good at meetings.

I think he is now up to 3 major meetings. There was one with the gangs, the one with Black mayors (don’t know why he excluded white mayors). Sorry. Slipped up. I think the last one was with merchants. Maybe, possibly, I don’t know, but he conceivably begged them not to close or leave. He might have told them he would resolve this crime thing as soon as he could figure what group of people to meet with.

Meanwhile, percapita, Memphis is in a race to be the murder capital of the US for the year.

Meanwhile, I’m asking myself just who he is going to hold his next meeting with?
