Pretty steep challenge getting people to attend a decades-long festival.

After decades-long Tennessee festival was canceled, 'grassroots' effort aims to bring it back https://t.co/uuIO0Co2mt

Ask me where you can file your memorandum on the issue of mootness.

Wanda Halbert vs Shelby County Election Commission

Question 1. How is this judge going to hear the case, given that he recused himself from her ouster trial?

[Mick Wright @mickwright]

Question 5. How can there be “approximately one thousand seven hundred (1,700) absentee ballots” that “remained unprocessed, unresolved, uncounted, or otherwise not reflected in the certified election totals” if there were only 503 absentee votes cast through early voting?

@mulroyj1949 For starters, I sponsored a budget resolution to add positions in the DA’s office, resolutions supporting the DA-led drug task force, budget amendments funding the CLEAR data initiative and a local forensics lab, and supported a pay increase for county-funded ADAs.

[Mick Wright @mickwright]

In just the last 4 years, there have been at least 10 elections decided by fewer than 200 votes in Memphis and Shelby County. All of these are primary or runoff elections, and only one is a county-wide position.

@mulroyj1949 I posted a brief clip of a TV news segment where I had invited media to follow me on a mid-week tour of the criminal court floors. Meanwhile I have offered solutions, met with all parties, and sponsored multiple resolutions benefiting the DA’s office and our justice system.

[Mick Wright @mickwright]

@mulroyj1949 I did not attack the DA or anyone else about night court. I did say day court should be optimized first, given the low level of trials being completed recently, and how frequently our criminal courts go empty mid-week. That was not an attack nor addressed to any one individual.

Correction: First line should read District 8, not 13. Sorry for the error.

[Mick Wright @mickwright]

@RobertAbney @mulroyj1949 Many voters do not believe and/or are unaware of the multitude of issues that have been raised by a wide range of officials from both parties. It is very disconcerting.

@mulroyj1949 Please link any attacks you find posted on my account so we can discuss. Thanks.

Happy birthday to @BartlettSchools.

I saw it. Now you have to see it. His name is Samuel. And he…is a king.

Wanda Halbert, who ran for Criminal Court Clerk, alleges that the possible number of uncounted ballots could affect the outcome of the election. https://t.co/SMdZdwPRdo

@RobertAbney I hear you and think we could do a better job of it. But I also think our role, which is limited to adopting a guaranteed funding level or increasing it, does not offer much in the way of accountability. The state has more accountability measures and that’s what we’re seeing now.

This is as animated as I’ve ever seen Commissioner Michael Whaley. https://t.co/C62o9zbyjh
