For those of you who are waiting until election day to vote, don't forget that there are several proposed changes to the City's charter. City Charter Referendum Three involves the sale of MLGW.
Official Wording: Any proposed sale of Memphis Light Gas & Water or any of its electric, gas and/or water assets shall not be final until first approved by a majority of duly qualified voters in the City of Memphis.
Explanation: The amendment essentially puts the sale of MLGW in the hands of the voters. Before a sale of the utility can be completed, a referendum must be held to gain the voters' approval.
For a full list of changes and explanations, go to Change Memphis. You can also download a sample ballot.
