Let me give Parkinson and Thomas a few tips on what's needed to create jobs in the Bluff City;

* Clean up the gangs and make Memphis safe. No one wants to locate in down trodden, crime ridden and gang infested areas like Raleigh and Frayser.

* The Fords, Herenton, Fulilove, etc. have severely damaged the reputation of the city. (Memphis has cornered the BULL market) Bottom line -Companies want to deal with city officials who can be trusted.

* Elect conservatives to run the city. (It also would help to elect someone who has job creation experience vs. community organizers).

* Fix the School System. I would divide the county into 4 smaller school systems and place a HEAVY emphasis on discipline and parental involvement.

* The public also needs to drop the black victimization and entitlement mindset. (just keepn it real)People like Wendi and Sharpton make nice incomes perpetuating this garbage. However, it is extremely harmful to business creation.

There are TOO MANY more to list. Perhaps I'll share more later.
