Fairhope, Alabama
ALLOWING TUESDAY'S ELECTION TO PROCEED
According to Council President Mixon, Governor Bentley may lift the mandatory evacuation order for parts of west Fairhope --- possibly allowing Tuesday's municipal election to be held as scheduled.
Mixon: "He may lift the mandatory evacuation. If he does, there is a chance we will have the election tomorrow."
The city council will meet again at 3PM to consider the matter. The entire council, by majority vote, must decide the issue.
