No New Mayor for Shelby County...Yet

For at least another week, Shelby County acting Mayor Joyce Avery will remain in office. After spending all day on Monday voting and re-voting for candidates for interim mayor, the Shelby County Commission could not reach a decision.

While numerous candidates were considered, the vote ultimately came down to two -- J.W. Gibson II and Joe Ford. According to The Commercial Appeal, each candidate received five votes from the Commission. Interestingly, each candidate also received votes from two Republican and three Democratic commissioners.

Since no decision could be reached, the commissioners have rescheduled the vote for November 17th.

So what do you think? Which of the two front runners would make the best interim mayor?
