Any such payments would likely result in the charity budgets of the churches being reduced and the city will not be able to provide those same services for the same amount of money; they’ll hire employees who will never be as motivated as the church volunteers.

Tell your daughter to be well. We live in north Mississippi & I used to go to Oak Court Mall & we met friends at The Rendezvous...................no more. The only time I go to Memphis is if I have no other choice but to fly somewhere. lying out of Memphis is a real treat. The TSA workers are the rudest anywhere & go out of their way to make life miserable. They might as well have a sign on their chest that says, “ I am bitter, angry, my life bites & I hate white people.” I’m sorry, but I HATE the Memphis airport.

People who remember Memphis like you do must be so heartbroken at its demise. We are going to go to the Brooks Museum sometime this month, but we will be home while it is still daylight.

I’m a teacher in north Mississippi & I watch all the consolidation news w/ much interest.

Thank goodness for the Collierville outdoor mall. I stopped going to any Memphis malls years ago!

Seems like the “front lines” are everywhere. This woman appears to be both crooked and crazy, and there I thought the “Ford Family of Crooked Pols” had a corner on that market down there in both corrupt politicians and funeral homes. Is Ophelia still in the slammer?

Will the 16,000 newly minted IRS agents be “asking” me to buy Government approved health insurance?

From the events of the past week the stinkin government dosen't have to "ask" anything. It sees everything we own as community property.

You would be surprised who has told me that Memphis is the worst about that kind of thing.

Taxation of any recognized church is unlawful as a matter of Constitutional Law.

Taxation of a bona fide tax exempt company organized and recognized under IRS Section 501 (c)3 is unlawful as a matter of Federal law under any circumstance.

According to Sharia Law, Christian churches are taxed until they go broke, then the church is burnt to the ground during a Sunday Service.

Isn’t there a new Mosque going up in Murfreesboro, TN ?
