An enoromous amount of cars driven by Memphis citizens are registered in Desoto County.

They gotta pay for those high-dollar 'catered' lunches & 'portraits' SOMEHOW.... (Priorities, you understand). You can't vote in crooks & expect them to have either ethics, or common sense; you reap what you sow.....

So for the Memphians that are required to have vehicle inspections in order to get their tags was the fee not included? Wouldn't we be charged twice for this service? What if I am traveling to Memphis in a personal vehicle of another state for more than a week, would I be required to pay for inspection? This has to be a joke.....just put up tolls where each highway or interstate meets and make your money that way. There has to be better ideas than this.

Go ahead Memphis city leaders, give industry and business another reason to leave. Keep adding laws that hurt your city instead of enforcing the ones that help it.

Forget cops fighting rape, murder, and political corruption. Let's have them spend their time running people's plates to see if they've been within city limits more than one time a week. Perfect plan Eddy, a typical Ford.

If Edmund, Jr., is the best the Ford family has left (and I suspect he is), then it's time to consign them to the dustbin of history, third-rate PhD's notwithstanding.

I have already sent a reply to Ed, I failed US history, Ford jr. But I thought I would also post part of that here Does anyone remember what the trigger was to the War and Declaration of Independence? NO Taxation without Representation. I will help file any class action/injunction against the city if they pass this proposal.

If I wanted to be subject to the stupidity of Memphis, I would live in Memphis. Why not fix your own problems before you create more, because this WILL cost your city money. IN COURT.
