The big news from yesterday's County Commission meeting was a citizen's petition [1] signed by 100 people asking commissioners to remove Mayor Ragsdale from office.

When advised by the County Law Director that commission doesn't have that power and that citizens would have to file an ouster lawsuit, petitioner Charles Bowers said he may do just that. Victoria DeFreese apparently approves.

Katie at KT has an interview with Dwight Van de Vate [2] following the meeting. (Listen near the end when a clueless reporter asks if Ragsdale would run again. Sheesh.)

UPDATE: Nichols recuses his office [3], Finch investigation moved to Shelby County DA's office. (By way of KT [4])
