Comments
The incumbent has to be held responsible for the runaway development and lack of infrastructure to support it.
Reckless development? Is he going to tell the large landowners what they are going to do with their land. This is still Alabama, the thought of government (city, state, or Feds) telling property owners what the can or cannot do with their land is fighting words.
There are so many other issues in his statement.
Overbuilding has lead to water, sewer and traffic issues with no accountability.
Vote all their butts out.
We might not get rid of Sherry this time but there will be a reckoning.
