Well, of course, MLGW should be sold to a private concern. Why should we listen to some union boob about what bills would be? Could they be more corrupt and inefficient than what we have now? I don't see how.

No wonder the union doesn't want to see a sale. It would break up their power house. They wouldn't be able to control the polititions that controls MLGW. They would even have to go to work and be productive, even with the reduced deadwood. It is proven that private industry operates more efficiently than government If citizens have any sense they will vote to sell

Per a change to the city Charter that was approved by the citizens in the general election in 2008, MLG&W cannot be sold by the city unless a referendum for the sale is on the ballot of a municipal or general election and approved (gets a majority of 'yes' votes) by the citizens of Memphis.
