Brought to you by Shelby County Government Reporter Daniel Connolly:
If you want to take a crack at being Shelby County mayor, now's the chance to apply.
The Shelby County Commission will interview candidates for the interim mayor's slot on Wednesday, Nov. 4, then vote on Nov. 9. If commissioners deadlock, they'll vote again on Nov. 16. Interested candidates should contact Steve Summerall at 545-4301 or steve.summerall@shelbycountytn.gov for details.
As reported in an article today, outside applicants will face stiff competition from Shelby County Commissioners who want the job for themselves, including George Flinn, Joe Ford and J.W. Gibson II.
The interim mayor will serve until Sept. 1, 2010.
