Elliot Perry spoke to Eric Barnes on “The Sidebar” about the importance of mentoring, the struggles some young people have faced during the pandemic, and yeah, a little bit about basketball. Speaking of basketball, Drew Hill and Chris Herrington continue the discussion about Ja Morant being a top-five NBA point guard. On a more serious subject, Shelby County Mayor Lee Harris said during an interview on “Behind the Headlines” that he aims to hold the line on property taxes. But a proprty tax hike isn’t out of the question for Memphis residents, according to city council budget committee chairman Worth Morgan. And on another episode of “The Sidebar” Jennifer Biggs talks restaurants and COVID testing.
