A press release emailed to The Commercial Appeal would appear to
finally clear up all this confusion about whether Memphis Mayor Willie
Herenton really does intend to resign.
From the press release for "Disney's A Christmas Carol" train tour that Walt Disney Pictures is sending to Memphis on Aug. 4 is this sentence: "We are having a special VIP Preview Party/Ribbon Cutting Ceremony (between 7am-9am) on August 4th involving Mayor Wharton, Mayor Lowery, Congresswoman Marsha Blackburn, FedEx Executive/ Chamber Chairman Tom Schmitt, amongst other city dignitaries, and Disney spokespeople."
So there you have it, straight from Disney -- that'll be "Mayor Lowery" on hand helping Disney promote a Jim Carrey movie set for release in November.
Wonder if someone needs to let Disney know our politicians don't always stay on script?
I cannot believe this is true!
