Today I watched Mayor Herenton give a press conference that was long over due.  It is my belief, every Memphian should have heard or should hear, what he had to say.  The contents of his speech is the power of God.  Let me explain?  Many years ago I told a friend (and some family) that the Mayor and the Fords were the biggest drug dealers in the city (I was drinking and drugging at the time and just talking), but most of them took me serious and a friend took it even farther.  This friend took what I said as the gospel went undercover with police agencies to entrap me and couldn't.  So, she did the next best thing to survive her foolishness, she made them think Mayor Herenton and the Fords were drug dealers.  Why did the FBI fall for such a lie?  Because both the Mayor and the Fords had members of their families associating with drug dealers at that time.  God showed me the out come of this act (lie) that I told and the purpose for the lie (act).  Everything is the will of God no matter what man may think.  When we think we are controlling something, whatever it may be, we are only doing what God knew we would do, before we thought about doing it.

Back to the Mayor.  The Mayor has been in office for so long that he lost sight of his calling and his faith became misguided.  As a person on drugs are frighten into quiting after hitting rock-bottom.  The Lord frighten the Mayor into speaking the truth today after causing him to be attacked from all directions.  Lets watch the Mayor, listen to the Mayor, and decide whether God indeed, has awaken him.  And if you are a believer, you should also be a forgiver.  May God bless and continue to watch over us.  1Peace2 out.

Last October I hired a church member with his own construction company to remodel my basement.  After paying him $10,000.00 he quit the job leaving my home unfinished and with numerous problems.  I hired an attorney to to retrive some of my monies.  The person I hired also worked for the city and I have had several encountered with the city to the point of writing the Mayor.  But this is not about the city.  it is about what happens when your lawyer works against you.

First the lawyer said I needed to pay him in full up front (a light did go off but I fail to act) which I mistakingly did.  The reason I am sharing this is because I want all blogers to know the signs.  The first sign...the law firm I hired changed the lawyer I hired (when shopping for a an attorney you can pick who you want and pay for who you want).  Next he fail to file for a court date until about two months after I hired him.  Next he asked me to take pictures of the unfinished work and have them developed.  Remember I paid him up front.  I offered him a flash drive with the pictures because it was over a 150 pictures, but I did print them on my printer in black in white.  He however, refused the flash drive.  Next he said we were set for trial, as if there would be a jury present.  Finally, when we went to court he said we could not bring the digital camera with the pictures or my video camera (I made a video of the basement before and after).  Which turn out to be a lie.  He also told me to be brief when answering his questions because the Judge didn't like long answers.  Yet, when he cross examined the contractor it took the Judge to tell myyy lawyer to do his job and make the defendant limit his answers to yes and no (what so you think of that?).

Well I won the case and was awarded $5,361.00 back.  Oh! One other thing.  My lawyer ask me to bring $350.00 to court to pay a witness that was summoned by the court (he tried to set me up to lose).

What do you think of that? and don't let it happen to you.

I wonder can I sue my lawyer........

Do Memphis need 500 more police?  I really can't answer that question but what I can answer is... do Memphis need 500 more police cars?  No.  Our law enforcement administrators  here in Memphis have used New York city police department as an example for certain changes in our police operations.  Therefore, I'm going to us New York too.

Memphis police have their individual police car.  Do anyone reading this think the over 100 thousand police officers in New York have their own individual police car?  I grew up in Memphis and I remember when there was alway to officer to a car.  Many Memphians are shocked when there are minor crimes or none violent ones and two or more police cars are on the scene.  Some of us know about back-up, but wouldn't it be more efficient and economical if the back-up was already in the car.  Wouldn't that cut the number of police cars needed in half, saving millions of dollars (cars, gas, maintenance and insurance). 

I really don't mind the hiring, it's just the mismanagement that is going on in this city and no one seems to care. 1Peace2 out.

On yesterday, April 15, 2008 Mayor Herenton asked the city council to support him in raising the property taxes of the citizens of Memphis.  The question is whether taxes really need to be raised that much ($.58 ) at this time.  We have over 70 million dollars in reserve that he don't want to touch.  He still plan on closing libraries and community centers totalling about 10.  He wants to hire five hundred more police officers and give city employees a 5% pay raise (he said they haven't had one in 3 years).

With that said I just wonder if my imagination is playing tricks on me.  Can this be a well planned maneuver to increase a business while providing the material for the business at the same time. 

Let me share my imagination with you.  First I imagined some children playing at community centers and other children going to the libraries to study, read and utilize the fullness of the facility.  Next I amagined both closed...children running the streets, getting into trouble, going to jail and finally to prison.  Guess you know by now that the business is the criminal justice centers (jail and prison) and the material is the children with nothing to do.  But, that's just my imagination. 1Peace2 out.

First I would like to say hello to the blogging community.  Second I would like to say to The_Okay_Pro_ Se...you were right, God lead me back.

This is not an April Fools joke. 1Peace2 out.
