AND those that always point fingers, accuse folks of wrongdoings. The mayor is good at that, all those city council members are blocking me. <br /><br />Personally, from what I have observed, the mayor is her own worse enemy, she talks way too much. She talks so much that now, everything she says is discounted. She needs to make a point then STFU.<br /><br />Would not run for any position in Fairhope! Nor serve on any committee!<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7862220451874774534.post-42933476447975201942017-04-22T14:43:08.872-05:002017-04-22T14:43:08.872-05:00Maybe Wilson's twin sister could switch places...Maybe Wilson's twin sister could switch places and be mayor for a while.<br /><br /> She is supposed to be more level headed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7862220451874774534.post-16510537807028183852017-04-22T12:24:32.497-05:002017-04-22T12:24:32.497-05:00Unchecked growth like the kind that is happening r...Unchecked growth like the kind that is happening right now will absolutely destroy Fairhope.

It looks to me that Brown and Boone will always back the developer. I am hoping Fly Creek is an outlier since they had to live with what the previous Council did. Wish they had called Corte's bluff. I am hopeful we'll start seeing some 3-2 votes with the new stuff. Time will tell. Karin is growing in her job, also. She is not as in your face recently as she was.

Brown, out of all the council members, ask the best questions but he listens to the answers. If he disagrees, he states so, he's his own man.<br /><br />The others, especially the mayor, need to listen before they speak. And when they do speak, make the point then shut-up, Burrell and Wilson are not the most articulate on the council! <br /><br />The mayor's gestures drive me crazy and she seems to talk herself into problems.<br /><br />What I have really observed is the lady that was the new hire of the mayor seems to be running things around the city.

I had such high hopes for him to stand up to the rest of the sleaze in our city government but now he has pretty much admitted that he ran for Council to help Mr. Corte.
