Friday, Feb. 25, Millington residents will have a chance to take part in a Transportation Bill Listening Tour.

The tour will be held at Millington City Hall on 7930 Nelson St.

Congressman Stephen Fincher and the chairman of the Transportation and Infrastructure committee will talk to residents about a long-term, job-creating reauthorization of the nation's highway, transit and highway safety programs.

Questions and input from participants will be welcome.

The two hour session begins at 8:30 a.m.

Rev. Al Sharpton will appear at a union rally Thursday and ask voters to reject the proposed consolidation of Memphis city and Shelby County governments.

“Next Tuesday, election day, there is a measure on the ballot that does not serve the needs of this community and threatens your right to have a say in your future,” said AFSCME Secretary-Treasurer Lee Saunders in a written statement.

Sharpton, union leaders and members of the local chapter of the National Action Network will meet at the AFSFCME headquarters, 485 Beale St., at 10:30 a.m.
