Memphis, TN. February 27, 2010 – Ron Williams and Tom Guleff have announced formation of a new group, Save Shelby County, today in Memphis, TN. The group is organized to oppose the consolidation of Memphis and Shelby County, TN governments. Save Shelby County (SSC) is a grass-roots non-partisan organization providing factual information and alternate solutions to Shelby County, TN voters.
