Governor Kay Ivey is a puppet on a string. In a recent article she announces a special session for a gas tax. In one paragraph she talks about money for infrastructure two paragraphs later we find out the State Docks are going to get between 400,000 and 600,000 for dredging the ship channel.
“And I want to be crystal clear – this money will be scrutinized and watched over – every single penny,” the governor said.
For the last 15 years one complaint in Fairhope has been consistent. Why do I have to comply with Fairhope municipal regulations when I live outside the city limits and I cannot vote in Fairhope elections?
Well, folks I will have to admit that the newly elected State Senator Chris Elliott is not who I thought would tackle the issue. The last State Senator Tripp, BP, Pittman never addressed any of the issues in the county, unless he could make a buck.
I do not want the Ripp Report readers thinking I am getting soft for complimenting some of the Baldwin County Mayors, but they deserve it. Fairhope definitely is on the right track and may be debt free by 2020.
STATE OF THE CITY – 2019 STATE OF THE CITY – 2019 | THE RIPP REPORT / BALDWIN COUNTY LEGAL EAGLE Congratulations to the Mayor, Department heads, employees and the production staff who produced the 2019 State of the City booklet.
Sen. Tripp Pittman and the State Representatives Faust, and Randy Davis, INDICTED, did very little in the last 11 years, as far as representing their constituents.
Pittman is going out the back door with his pockets full of BP money, Davis may be headed to jail and Joe Faust, District 94, wants another term, to do nothing.
They all three said the Alabama Accountable Act was the best thing for education since sliced bread.
Heads up, sounds like two different authorities are checking out Fairhope. The Ripp Report is waiting on tips to the Rippster in the hopes of finding out who’s in hot water. Something tells me that the next couple of weeks leading up to the primary election June 5, is going to be very interesting. Stay Tuned.
The State Senate Seat for District 32 is one of the more important races of this mid-term.
