County Clerk Wanda Halbert Refuses to Resign Amid Controversy Over Office Space.
Shelby County Clerk Wanda Halbert faced calls to resign during a meeting with county commissioners regarding the renewal of her office's lease at Poplar Plaza. Halbert plans to move to a nearby bay of the shopping center, but could not provide a date for the move. She also hopes to purchase a former bank for an additional clerk's office. Halbert claimed the current satellite office leases were "illegal" and complained about the state of her current facilities. County Mayor Lee Harris vowed to prevent any further closures of clerk's office locations. Halbert refused to resign, despite the calls.
