Lost tax revenue for upcoming fiscal year due to COVID-19 is projected to lead to at least an 8-figure shortfall&#8230; and lost revenue for this fiscal year ups it to 9 figures. The city has cash reserves to cover most of it, but operating with no cash reserves is a perilous idea; cities can&#8217;t operate on defecits the way the federal government can. Layoffs and deep cuts in city services seem unavoidable. If you&#8217;re a city employee, you probably should get your resume together and update your LinkedIn page.<\/p>\n<p>Bilingual guitarist and singer Alex Walls will perform a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/2674107632916365\/?notif_t=event_calendar_create&amp;notif_id=1587483757608221\">live concert<\/a> from Health Sciences Park, to be broadcast on Facebook and Instagram by the Memphis Medical Center District Collaborative, Friday at noon.<\/p>\n<p>Education opportunity this Friday:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/_CodeCrew?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@_CodeCrew<\/a> is hosting a virtual information session April 24 from 11AM &#8211; 1PM.
