Today, Memphis Mayor Willie Herenton and Shelby County Mayor AC Wharton made a stunning announcement concerning the future of the Memphis Rape Crisis Center. It seems that both Mayors have agreed to a plan that would move the Rape Crisis Center away from the the City run Public Services and Neighborhoods, and into the Shelby County Health Department. You can read all about it HERE
On behalf of all the members of the Friends of MSARC campaign I would like to thank both Mayor Herenton and Wharton for seeking reasonable solutions to this crisis. I also want to thank both leaders for focusing the discussion today on the needs of the victims of this horrible crime and their support for the creation of a Victims Services Board.
We will be continuing to observe events as this process unfolds, but today's events are a major step in a positive direction.
