I think the Council is fine and will hopefully be more experienced i this time. The new mayor understands what is going on and will not butt heads with council. Mayor Wilson did improve things in many areas . Time to slow the growth some.

Sullivan is not going to be interested in slowing growth.

33% of Fairhope decides who runs the city? That is the problem.

Sure, only 33% voted, but the other 67% chose not to participate in deciding who runs the city. It was important enough for me to make my voice heard, and I wish everyone felt that way, but don't blame the 33% for the others' non-caring.

With only 33% of eligible voters casting a ballot is a serious problem within the corporate limits of Fairhope. Those that will complain about the operations and decisions of Fairhope will be those that did not take the time or effort to cast a ballot.
Mayor Wilson tried to put the city back on a path of “citizen involvement”, and to strip the “old boys club” that ran rampant for many, many years. Her decisions to to strengthen the city government came too fast without conferring with constituents and upset the “club”. At that point, she was, as the old saying goes, “toast”.
If the 33% of those voting think growth will slow enough to catch up and seriously look at the future of this city, just look at the amount, and the sources, of money the majority of those elected put in their coffers.
And just a curiosity question. Not much was spent on advertising by the candidates that garnered the most cash,, where is the remainder.. Will be interesting to see their financial disclosures.

Mayor Wilson should have joined the “club”. I can’t remember an incumbent in any political race getting less than 25% of the vote. ,,The narrative that the council caused any problem the city has and Wilson fought the evil, corrupt council sounds both divisive and wrong. I firmly believe that none of the council has been involved in self dealing and corruption. You better have proof when you make allegations such as the ones many espouse. Paul Ripp is the instigator of much of this.
