Host Ryan Poe travels across the street from Memphis city hall to talk to Shelby County Commissioner Walter Bailey Jr. He was the only commissioner to oppose a recent 2-cent countywide tax rate cut. Bailey explains why he thinks taxpayers should pay more — not less. Bailey also said he thinks the commission should consider censuring Commissioner Justin Ford, who recently entered an Alford plea — a type of guilty plea that doesn't admit guilt — to a misdemeanor charge of domestic violence.
