I have tried to explain to people outside of Birmingham the reasons why the populace – or, at least, the people that I come into contact with – have had grave concerns about the future and stability of the city since Larry Langford moved to Birmingham (after entering the election for mayor…try describing that scenario to savvy citizens and watch their faces contort in disbelief!). It’s not like we didn’t have problems before last November’s election. It’s just that the majority of the voters decided that it would be best to put the future of the metropolis in the hands of someone currently under investigation by the Feds, and with a notorious reputation for driving businesses into disaster and dissolution while keeping his nose clean.
