The City Council will vote on it Thursday. Lord, I just hope it's not anyone whose last name is Stokes.

Results of special session of city council. Charles TILLMAN is acting mayor. It will take at least 3 to 4 months before a election can be done according to wlbt.com.

When my girl told me that works in Jackson the first thing I said was, "was he poisoned like Harold Washington?!". :noidea:

Yep. Frank Melton died on election day, I believe, after hearing the news that he had lost to Harvey Johnson.

Melton collapsed election morning, before the polls had closed.

SS, y'all still believe they poisoned harold Washington huh?

 

[BlueBengal07]

Jackson was heading in the right direction

that's how i'm like on this whole thing. Jackson was setting a strong fountain to build from. I hope some of his major plans to HELP the city will move forth, with others to continue progress. a true lost to the city. it looked like he was(becoming) everyone's mayor; blacks and whites in the city.
