County Commissioners add $10.7M for education, homelessness and more
Shelby County Commissioners Edmund Ford Jr., left, and Amber Mills, center, proposed three items totaling $4.2 million that would come from the county’s reserve fund. Eleven budget amendments totaling $10.7 million were made Wednesday, May 29, in committee sessions. (Patrick Lantrip/The Daily Memphian file)
