I am very disappointed that members of the City Council went along with this appointment. If they truly wanted an unbiased and fair process they should have interviewed and hired someone that is outside of Fairhope Politics. Someone who isn't going to be a "yes man" for the Mayor.
I feel very sorry for the Police Officers that are just trying to do their jobs, day in and day out, and are being constantly harassed. The ones that are on the Mayor's unofficial "hit list" of people to get rid of (fire) as soon as he gets the chance.
This is so obvious it's painful. I just don't get it, every time you think there might be hope that things are going to get better - investigation by Lorenzo Howard, a step in the right direction - then something like this happens and you take 3 steps backward.
Wake up and smell the roses people! The Mayor, Mike Ford, and all of the Mayor's minions are self-serving, vindictive, unfair, and biased and they are hurting this city.
