Mayor rants about race! Actually, no -- just presents balanced budget

Ever notice how when the Memphis mayor proposes a balanced budget that manages finances in a whole new manner, it doesn't get the comments and pageviews generated when a Memphis mayor calls an otherwise meaningless press conference to do verbal combate with his critics? The CA's Amos Maki at City Hall has the preview of the budget Memphis Mayor A C Wharton will unveil and we will have up-to-date details all day at commercialappeal.com on city and county budgets. This kind of thing is much more important and has a much larger impact on the future of this entire region than the trifling dramas that too often fuel political discussions.
