Over in Shelby County it seems that two Commissioners were featured speakers at a Republican club meeting. One Commissioner got mad and verbally threatened another. The police were called. Read the story here in the Memphis Commercial Appeal. The story is similar to this story from a about 20 months ago where a former Black Wednesday Commissioner couldn’t maintain civility. The difference is police were not called, because everyone witnessing the incident realized the close confidant of Property Assessor Phil Ballard and weekly tabloid newspaper publisher Steve Hunley finds it difficult to control himself.
