Edmund Ford Sr. waiting on Herenton decision

Former City Councilman Edmund Ford Sr. won't make any promises about a possible run for Memphis mayor.

At least not until Memphis Mayor Willie Herenton puts his promised resignation in writing.

"I don't need to worry about it right this minute," Ford said Wednesday about putting together a mayoral campaign. "Call me back when the mayor decides he's ready to go."

Ford, who was acquitted last year on bribery charges, told The Commercial Appeal on July 2 that he was considering a run.
