The County Commission is gathering now for vote on county mayor. Among those who arrived early are former City Councilwoman and mayoral candidate Carol Chumney, former City Councilman John Vergos of The Rendezvous, State Rep. G.A. Hardaway, and Criminal Court Clerk Otis Higgs.
Chumney said "she's not at liberty" to say why she's here, but she did just put in a word with County Commissioner Mike Carpenter, supporting Otis Higgs. She also was talking to Wyatt Bunker earnestly.
Higgs, as Daniel Connolly just reported, has indeed filed an application to become a candidate. A story we ran earlier this year discussed the role Higgs has played in Memphis mayoral politics.
