from The AM/DM · host The Daily Memphian
Earlier this year, two draft Memphis City Council resolutions, both regarding the city's Information Technology department, appeared on the body's agenda. Both were quickly pulled from the city's website and the agenda without explanation. Now we know, based on emails and other documents, that the proposals were pulled after Memphis Mayor Paul Young's administration warned the City Council chair that her behavior could violate the city charter. Joining us today is reporter Sam Hardiman to talk about the proposals, what the Young administration was concerned about and several City Council staffers being let go.
