Re: “State Comptroller Wilson: Can Do City Budget Himself and Set Tax Rate, if Necessary”
OTP,
Where are you getting your data ? I am not trying to be mean, but here's what I have.
2012 State of TN unfunded liabilities (OPEB) $3.056 billion, with a population of 6.456 million people.
Memphis unfunded liabilities (OPEB) $1.34 billion, with a population of 655,155 people.
State has 10X the number of people in the state.
Sleep well.

I live in midtown, and I worry about Memphis. Our legacy costs (pensions and OPEB) are a big problem. Without a viable future taxbase with our current trends, something will have to give. The bill will come due one day, and that day won't be pretty. The bell cow is East Memphis, not the midtown/downtown area. Watch East Memphis.

"The most shocking of these is the city of Memphis, where the unfunded pension liability has crept up to $531 million at last official count. That's combined with $1.34 billion in unfunded liability for Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB), or anticipated health care expenses for retired employees."

Re: “Lipman, Mulroy, Stratton Considered for Federal Bench”
I nominate Commissioner Steve Mulroy to Animal Services to help rid us of this mess. I am tired of all the cat fighting, cock fighting, dog fighting, and other violent and gruesome attacks. The county commission chambers is no place for such activity.
