The only thing found in the news as of recent, involving local politics, has been the endless coverage of the John Ford trial. While this does not relate directly to the Memphis Mayor race, it could trigger effects on the polling of the various candidates in the race for the mayor's office. Have an opinion on the John Ford trial? Please comment and tell us your thoughts.In regards to the Ford trial, Mayor Herenton had various things to say:
"You go to restaurants, everywhere you go, they're talking about public officials and corruption."
"We are overwhelmed with all of the news about human behavior and elected officials."
"We run a clean government, I'm just proud of all the people I work with and the city of Memphis."
So Herenton is sick of hearing the truth, he's overwhelmed from being responsible about the behavior of the officials he oversee's? Herenton wants a clean city, but he will still refuse to accept the resignation of Joseph Lee, amidst the publicizing of corruption involving services to Edmund Ford? Convinced that this is the man we want to keep around in the mayor's office? Me neither...
