When Scott McCormick left the Memphis City Council at the end of last month, it required a reshuffling of some of the council’s committee assignments.

As a result, Reid Hedgepeth, a developer by trade, will apparently be taking over as chairman of the council’s planning and zoning committee.

And might I just add that it’s about time.

For far too long, the needs of the homebuilding industry have been woefully underrepresented at City Hall.

Maybe Hedgepeth can get in there and, you know, stand up for the big guys.
