On the next live and all new Real Talk Memphis my guest include; MSCS Board Chair Tamarques Porter. Joining him will be Semya Green, a senior and the student government president at Middle College High School. She joined the MSCS School board after being selected from the district’s student congress to represent them earlier this month. She will join me to share the importance of the students voice in the education process. Next, the newly elected Shelby County Assessor of Property Javier Bailey, Sr will tell us about the tax base of our city shrinking and how if that happens the public debt rises; property taxes increase and the burden for homeowners grows. He will tell me about an event he is hosting called the State of the County Tax Base Summit to address his concerns. Finally, Charlie Hoots and I go way back to the TV days. These days, he is a Southaven Alderman for Ward 2. The issue of proposed data centers is not just a Memphis problem, they are popping up all over the place including Southaven. Charlie tells me about what the residents are saying and if he thinks all of this is a good idea moving forward. That and more on air and online Monday, 6pm on 91.7 FM WYXR.
