Ransom: When will the bickering between Halbert and county government end?

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Shelby County Mayor Lee Harris and Shelby County commissioners all but demanded Wanda Halbert open a new clerk's office on Riverdale Road Monday to help relieve some of the unforgivable long wait times car owners have been enduring all year.

They even passed a resolution earlier this month saying it should open Monday. Shelby County government tweeted Monday basically challenging Halbert to open the office ASAP, saying the office is ready to open now.

Halbert's response? Basically, to shrug it right off, saying not only is it not ready to open now, but it will also likely be December before it is.
