6 months - impeach, recall, or federal curruption indictment for King Willie so that he is removed from office
1 yr - same as above
3 yr - same as above
5 yr - next chance to vote him out of office.

It took Memphis five decades to deteriorate to the point where it is now. And it takes a city much longer to fall apart than it does to put it together. Nothing will make Memphis significantly better in the next six months, one year, three years, or five years. Ask about 50 or 100 years, and I'll give a different answer.

In the meantime, however, Memphis can try to stabilize.

Improve the school system. If we can educate the children here and give them a reason to be upstanding citizens and want to better their own lives, we'll see a different generation of people here than we have had in a long time.
