Upon hearing news today that Willie Herenton picked up a petition to run in the special election for an office he just vacated, Mayor Pro Tem Myron Lowery described the former mayor's actions as perplexing.
"It's more confusion," Lowery said.
"The former mayor lacks credibility. This is another example of saying one thing and doing another. With that said, I welcome him to the race. He is free to run. The citizens will have a wonderful opportunity to fill the remainder of the term he voluntarily gave up."
