Mayor Pro Tem Myron Lowery has largely been missing in action this morning.
Lowery made a brief appearance earlier during the council's personnel committee meeting to introduce Jack Sammons, his pick for chief administrative officer, and former U.S. Attorney Veronica Coleman-Davis, his pick for city attorney.
He then left immediately to attend events throughout the morning.
Lowery is expected to return to a 1 p.m. executive session with the council members, when they'll discuss Coleman-Davis and possibly the ouster of embattled City Atty. Elbert Jefferson. UPDATE: The executive session has been moved to 1:30 p.m. to get the education committee out of the way beforehand.
Today marks the first time Lowery, the former council chairman, has spoken before the council as mayor.
This afternoon's meeting could be interesting...
a faux mayor and a bunch of court jesters meeting down at stupidity hall. interesting, it should be a circus without King Willie "Mugabe" to maintain decorum. I would like to see the King Jerry Lawler take on the jesters in a loser leave town battle royal, maybe throw some fire.
It's Elvis death week so keep it real
