Sure, the mayor’s Clash-like dilemma, and the resulting on-again, off-again mayor’s race, has dominated the news, but other things are still happening.
For instance … the City Council continued its more than year-long struggle Tuesday to employ a full complement of police officers.
Earlier this year, the job of hiring police officers was transferred from the Memphis Police Department to the city’s Human Resources division. The City Council also voted in a resolution that would allow officers to live 20 miles outside the Shelby County line but those officers would have to pay a $1,400 fee.
The Council then said that officers who live inside the city limits should get preference for the positions, which brings it to its current dilemma.
