The absurd Memphis City Council will fail yet again (thankfully), due to under Tennessee State Law, they need permission from the descendants of Forrest to give permission to move the body (which they've already said No), and they'll need the Tennessee Historical Commission to give approval also, which they claimed wasn't going to be done either.
I'm willing to bet the City Council knows this already, but it makes for tv air time & political theater, and not much else more. It's a constant cycle that thankfully so far, has ended with their demise in such fruitless efforts.
