Opinion: A sad sendoff for Alderman Dean Massey
Clay Bailey
Clay Bailey, a lifelong Memphian, has worked as a reporter in the city four decades. He concentrated on suburban coverage for the bulk of his career, except for a stint as sports editor of The Daily Memphian when it launched in September 2018. He now is suburban editor and also serves as a freelance sports writer for The Associated Press.
The deadline for the Germantown municipal elections has passed, ending the Dean Massey drama of whether he will seek another term on the suburb's Board of Mayor and Aldermen.
