As a member of the Memphis City Council, Myron Lowery voted against relaxing residency rules for new police officers.
But as Mayor Pro Tem, Lowery has gone outside the city's limits to hire two key members of his staff: Veronica Coleman-Davis and Donna Davis. Coleman-Davis, Lowery's pick for city attorney, lives in Millington, while Davis, Lowery's pick for director of media relations, lives in Germantown.
The city residency policy gives new hires six months to move inside the city. Lowery said any appointments he makes will only serve until the October special election to fulfill the remainder of former mayor Willie Herenton's term.
Its about time someone started thinking outside the box. It silly not to use the best people available.
Ooooooooooooooooooooh we! Can you spell H Y P O C R I T E?
Is there no talent left in Memphis ?
