Shelby County Commissioner Mark Billingsley's term as chairman began Sunday, Sept. 1. “I feel like I’ve gone out of my comfort zone to be a good commissioner, and I hope the next commissioner who follows me will have that same mentality to look at all of the county with a bigger lens than just that commissioner from Germantown,” he said.
