Shelby County Clerk Wanda Halbert is facing a second ouster petition after the first was dismissed in June. A new legal challenge has been filed alleging that Halbert has neglected her duties. The petition cites financial mismanagement, issues with auto dealers, and other administrative failures as grounds for removal. The county is seeking Halbert's immediate suspension pending the outcome of the case, which will involve a jury trial outside of Shelby County. The Daily Memphian has the story.
