Category: Updates from the Shelby County Commission
As stated in social media posts, I have been reviewing the Shelby County Commission’s community enhancement grant program (Milton grants).
In addition to sharing my perspective on and approach to the grant program, I have committed to take the following actions:
- Provide an account of my participation in the program.
- Support reforms to the program.
- Advocate for better technology and data sharing processes.
- Maintain an open door policy with citizens and media.
This blog post was drafted to meet the first of these commitments.

Halbert case dismissed
November was an eventful month, with the Presidential election, Thanksgiving, and a new round of frustration with our local justice system.
As you know, I’ve been paying careful attention to the ouster case against the Shelby County Clerk. Once again, the case has been dismissed for lack of standing. This was the opinion of a circuit court judge who ruled that the county attorney’s office could not hire outside counsel as a way to work around her conflict of interest.
I released a statement on this second dismissal, and I also joined Memphis Morning News to discuss the latest developments in the case.
The court has wasted an entire year focusing on technicalities, without a moment’s consideration of the real problems harming real people in Shelby County. The merits of this case need to be heard. Then, and only then, will this matter be resolved.
