| Description | Minutes after presenting an address to the City Council offering more of his previously announced rosy budget prospectus, Mayor Willie Herenton adjourned to the Hall of Mayors, where he answered a brief question or two about the budget, then had his administrative assistant, Toni Holmon Turner, hand out copies of a bombshell announcement: Herenton is contemplating a run in 2010 for the 9th District congressional seat now held by fellow Democrat Steve Cohen.
To say that the mayor's announcement was a surprise is a considerable understatement. There had been rumors, ever since Cohen did not give Herenton an outright endorsement during the mayor's 2007 reelection campaign, that Herenton was displeased with the congressman, whose own race in 2006 he had supported enthusiastically. |
