Subtle Rantings

Here’s just another indicator of what’s so wrong with Birmingham. The city’s own Mayor won’t even live there. No media outlet in Birmingham is covering this story other than the Birmingham Weekly. Why have we not heard this story on any of the locals news outlets?

Couple this with the inept and idiotic city council and county commission and you’ve got a nightmare. No wonder they ended up with a $3 billion sewer scandal. If you live in or around Birmingham, you really need to see this story at Birmingham Weekly and please be sure to pass it on to all you know.

Finally, all of this is indicative of something significant about Birmingham. Even the mayor’s fiercest enemies won’t exploit an obvious vulnerability. The mayor doesn’t live here, and while lots of people grouse and groan about it, not one person in this whole town has the initiative to file a lawsuit challenging Langford’s claim to the office. Birmingham has so little self-respect that no one cares anymore if even the mayor lives here.
