Ahead of the Memphis City Council’s vote on setting the tax rate, Councilman Martavius Jones joined the Moral Budget Coalition, a group of nonprofits backing his push for a rate designed to bring in more money for disadvantage local residents. Jones, who drew fire for pushing a property tax hike while delinquent on his own taxes, has said he would pay the back taxes, with interest. (Photo: Dr. Sybil C. Mitchell)
