Mayor pauses from moving-day chores to bash critics
'It's just stupid'
Memphis Mayor Willie Herenton doesn't get what all the fuss is about.
The fifth-term mayor who said he planned to retire last year before changing his mind, and who announced last month that he planned to retire July 10 before pushing the date back to July 30, says he doesn't understand the attention and confusion surrounding his imminent departure.
On Thursday -- one week before his announced retirement date -- Herenton focused one more time on his critics, saying members of the City Council and Shelby County Election Commission are "perverted" and racist.
"I've never seen this type of insanity," said Herenton. "It's a perversion. It's perverted behavior. It's racism. It's small-time thinking. It's all of that.
"There's a sickness in this community that I've never seen in my entire life," he said. "It's just stupid."
Wearing a "Keep it Real Herenton 2010" shirt, an energized Herenton was busy loading boxes of materials from his seventh-floor office into a pickup in the City Hall garage, but he took time to blast critics on the City Council and Election Commission who he said are trying to push him out of office.
Despite Herenton's wishes, the council on Tuesday finalized approval of a resolution recognizing a vacancy in the office of the mayor July 30, and the Election Commission on Wednesday set a date for a special election to replace the mayor.
Herenton said that a letter he sent to the Election Commission on Wednesday was his way of driving home the point that he is the only one who will decide when he leaves office.
"I'm simply defending my rights as an employee of the city of Memphis," said Herenton.
"It's a principle."
During the Election Commission meeting, chairman Bill Giannini blasted Herenton, saying, "It's just one more sideshow in this long, puzzling drama that has unfolded over the past three weeks involving the mayor."
Herenton said Giannini's comments reminded him of comments racist white people once made about civil rights activists.
"It reminds me of when white Americans said that African-Americans were troublemakers because we did not want to be segregated anymore," said Herenton.
Giannini said he was shocked Herenton characterized his comments as racist.
"It's regrettable that the mayor chooses to bring out tired, old race cards when he has no valid argument," said Giannini.
"I challenge him to identify what in my statement resembles anything racist."
Herenton, who has said he is retiring to join his son in an investment business and to run for the 9th Congressional District seat held by Rep. Steve Cohen, confirmed he has leased campaign office space from Belz Enterprises and he said the slogan for the campaign will be "Keep it Real."
Herenton also said he is worried about the large number of candidates emerging to replace him and that citizens have told him they are worried, too.
"I think I've made this job look easy," he said. "Everybody thinks they can do it."
