Herenton Resigns

I was very surprised to find out Mayor Willie Herenton resigned yesterday. I do not know much about him, but from what I have seen living in the city, he has not made any obvious positive change. I think this will be good to have someone new as Mayor. It will let someone with a new point of view come in and help where things seem to be stuck in a rut. I only hope the person who takes over will be better than Herenton. I have also heard that there is talk about Herenton taking over as head of the school board. I do not know if this is a much better place for him than mayor. In either position I think he is given too much power. Our school boards need someone to come in and care about the students and not be there just for their own glory. I feel if he did take the position that he would only be doing it to help him get into a higher office. This is just what I think. I do not know exactly how things have gone while he has been in office but I do know that I am not the only one who is against Herenton.
