As of today, Memphis Mayor Willie Herenton is still retiring.
That's the latest from spokeswoman Toni Holmon-Turner, who confirmed this morning that Herenton's last day is still July 30. The mayor is also still clearing out his seventh floor office at City Hall.
"If anything changes I'll let you know," said Holmon-Turner.
