HAH - Needs a car because of the miles MY ____ !!! If he is truly worried about the financial situation, why didn't he get a small car that is good on gas, and can handle the miles ? This APPARENTLY is NOT a man concerned with taxpayers money. Obviously swag is WAYYYY more important to him than the city's dysfunctional budget. AC: "Let's close 21 schools and buy me a Cadillac ! That should balance the budget !"

Old AC likes to live high on the taxpayers money ! He doesn't worry about what the peons think about the way he spends their money ! With a $13,000 portrait on the wall of fame and now $1200 month for a fancy car....got keep up the image of the important mayor's position.Instead of looking good...makes him a smo in the eyes of Memphis taxpayers. Guess he likes rubbing all that stuff in their faces cause he can.

AC does not really have a frugal personality. He's more like: "I've arrived, and I want the big perks and the 6-figure-salaried lackeys." I like my friend AC, but that won't stop me from telling it as I see it.
