In just about every community, someone suggests that “we need to have more productive things for our young people to do.” I agree. Today, I’m proposing another increase in youth summer jobs -- which will mean a 75% increase since we took office. — PolitiTweet.org

Having said all that, we’re still missing an important segment in that age demographic. In 2015, Memphis was said by one study to have the highest percentage of “opportunity youth” of any city in the country. In this budget, we’re going to accelerate our work to change that. — PolitiTweet.org
