Taking sides on the MCS charter surrender


Memphis City mayor A C Wharton and Shelby County mayor Mark Luttrell both promised earlier this week to post on the city and county websites objective answers to the myriad of questions that surround the MCS charter surrender.

So far, that information isn't online, but if you want to read more about the charter surrender - admittedly from those who have taken a stance one way or another, here are a few links:

Against consolidation: Save Our Students.

For consolidation: Smart City Memphis. (really good writing here.)

For consolidation, but with links to ALL the media coverage of the story so far: Vibinc.
