REINVENT GOVERNMENT LISTENING TOUR TRAVELS TO COLLIERVILLE

Community forum to be held June 10th at Collierville High School

On June 10th, the Reinvent Government Listenting Tour will make a stop
in Collerville granting Shelby County area residents another opportunity
to join in the public discussion about a unified form of government.
Shelby County Mayor A C Wharton, Shelby County Commission Chair Deidre
Malone and Memphis City Council Chairman Myron Lowery will continue to
dialogue with citizens and answer questions at Collierville High School
located at 1101 Byhalia Road. Hosted by the League of Women Voters of
Memphis and Shelby County, the community forum will begin at 6 p.m.

The Reinvent Government Listening Tour is specifically designed to
facilitate county-wide conversation about how a unified, metro
government could be more streamlined, spend tax money more effectively,
bring people together and spark new economic growth. In conjunction with
the tour, the reinventgovernment.org website has been launched to serve
as a nucleus for information gathering and sharing. Citizens are
encouraged to visit this website to share their comments or thoughts
about a government merger.
