Alderman David Reaves, Amber Huett-Garcia, an Maurice Spivey

My guests include Bartlett Alderman David Reaves. Recently, he has renewed a call for the Shelby County suburbs to break away and potentially form one of their own. But Reaves is also floating another option: the six outlying cities leaving Shelby and merging into adjacent counties. He joins me to talk about why he think it should be considered. Next, we just completed the municipal elections, and there are two new members of the County Commission. One of them, Amber Huett-Garcia, District 13 Commissioner elect joins me to talk about the transition from School Board member, why she made it and how she can make a difference. Lastly, AFSCME Local 1733 has been fighting for pay equity for a long time now, and recently, a tentative agreement with the city at a pay raise to $22.00 per hour will hopefully make that fight a reality. Staff Representative Maurice Spivey joins me to talk about next steps in the process as they prepare to face the City Council. That and more, on air and online Monday, 6pm on 91.7 FM WYXR.
