Busy first week for Memphis’ new mayor

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — It was a very busy first week for Memphis’ new mayor, Jim Strickland.

The week culminated with the unexpected announcement from Police Director Toney Armstrong that he’s leaving sooner than expected. The mayor’s team also learned it may have a billion-dollar fight on its hands over retiree benefits for teachers with the old city school system, and he’s taking some heat about how much he’s paying his top directors.

The Informed Sources discuss all this and more.
