Here’s what changed in the Memphis City Council’s fight over redistricting
The Memphis City Council voted to kill a redistricting plan that would’ve likely changed the racial makeup of the council. Jeff Warren brought a motion to suspend the rules and hear the item. That motion passed and opened the door to the plan’s defeat. (Mark Weber/The Daily Memphian)
A final vote on council attorney Allan Wade’s map is expected June 27.
