Wharton unveils 33-point platform

Shelby County Mayor A C Wharton has unveiled a 33-point platform in his bid for Memphis mayor.

Unveiled earlier this week on his Web site, the plan outlines Wharton's priorities if elected, including opening satellite offices for the city's divisions, developing a safe streets program, and creating a comprehensive plan to move the city forward.

The platform seems to involve the creation of lots of offices - the Memphis office of Talent and Human Capital, the Memphis Office of Innovation and the Office of Strategic Technology, among them. It also calls for the strengthening of neighborhoods, the development of a sustainable urban design and a Better Parks and Trails program.
