The mayor, a liberal, who is really a good guy, is as soft as chewing gum left in the sun for 3 days. He gets played like a fiddle and apparently he's fine with that. The incompetence of city officials is incredible here but it's not surprising.

Played by whom? Black people who are ridiculous in wanting remembrances of a great general and a great president taken down!?!

On this subject, he was played by the City Council.

How can he be played when publicly his goal was to bring the statues down?

I was wrong, the Mayor was all for this by any means.

From my understanding, the council had this plan months ago. Mayor Strickland was adament about trying to go through the THC and making sure any alternative was legal. I have seen some opinions critical of his method because the thought was any attempt to go through the THC was a pointless endeavor given the process was set-up to keep Memphis from making changes to its parks.
