The Shelby County Commission has approved 10 executive reappointments by Mayor Lee Harris as he begins his second four-year term, the Daily Memphian reports. Shelby County Chief Public Defender Phyllis Aluko, Divorce Referee Cary Woods and County Attorney Marlinee Iverson were among the reappointments. Commissioner Edmund Ford Jr. cast the only vote against Iverson’s reappointment, saying the county attorney’s office has been “political” during Iverson’s tenure. Harris praised Iverson for managing “dozens of lawyers and hundreds of lawsuits.”
