This week starts off with a meeting of the Shelby County Board of Commissioners and a discussion about the county’s continued involvement in the Memphis-Shelby County Schools state takeover lawsuit.

Newsletter editor Bianca Phillips is here, and we’ve also got early voting happening through Thursday, the Downtown Memphis Commission giving us the state of Downtown, and The Daily Memphian’s own Developing Memphis seminar. 

Plus, we get into the convergence of Halloween and the end of Daylight Saving Time.
