MUNICIPAL ELECTION AUGUST 26

Councilman Jack Burrell says will seek a fourth term on the city council in the upcoming municipal election. 

Councilman Robinson has already announced his intentions to do the same but Kevin Boone says he is not running again. 

Jimmy Conyers was undecided at last word; Corey Martin has not indicated his intentions to us yet.

Sherry Sullivan is seeking a second term as mayor as well.

Qualifying starts June 10; any registered Fairhope voter is eligible to run after paying the $50 qualifying fee to the city clerk. Associated state election documents should be filed with the Secretary of State (online).

No challengers have announced intentions to run for any of the offices yet, as far as we know.

Growth-related issues are likely to be the primary interest, as in previous campaigns.

Reply to Anonymous’s “Awful jobs:”. Not really. Don’t you WANT to be in charge of the decisions you’re complaining about? It’s easy to represent a majority. “Yea” or “Nay” What’s easier than that?

Reply to Anonymous’ invitation to Prichard: Look around Daphne/Fairhope/Foley. There are empty storefronts. More housing and commercial developments are already approved. Just waiting for the clearcutting, concrete, and asphalt to accommodate them. This is why there is a moratorium on certain new MOP and Subdivision applications in Fairhope. You haven’t yet seen what’s coming to our quaint communities.

I like to think that the Leaders I ELECT will represent my views and desires for the community I call Home. The “them” you speak of is “us.”

Remember, we live in a Republic ... leaders have to say no sometimes ....

This council and mayor are very reactive...there seems to be little planning and almost no leadership. Councilman Martin is the exception and will get my vote! Sadly there likely won't be any competent people willing or able to run against the incumbents in the city elections. We need a good mixture of those who understand "old" Fairhope and also some new blood with different perspectives.

Unfortunately Martin is a liberal Democrat and has no chance of being re-elected.

There appears to be some new folks running. The old folks are not working for us, let’s get some new ones in. Can’t hurt.

Term limits badly needed.

Empty store fronts…they are empty not because they get daily inquires from business owners ready to buy away whatever problems the current owners have. What you are seeing with empty store fronts are due to a lack of financial planning. The owners thought they would have time to plan or their plan was for someone dumber than them to give them a lot of money.

I don’t have a problem with term limits, if we want them out, don’t vote for them. I have a problem with their appointees never leaving.
