Just F'n great.... Everywhere that Larry Langford gets himself elected (or cheats his way into), taxes mysteriously start going up. Just a year or two ago he was behind another sales tax increase, and now that he's mayor, he wants to jack 'em up again....just so he can give out freebies and scholarships to kids who aren't doing much more than "showing up to class". He's also cranking up the amounts collected on business licenses etc for the purpose of building some idiotic "domed stadium" that the town doesn't need (much less can afford). Now I'm all for helping kids that strive for excellence and hard work...but for C students????? As everyone here so gladly points out, it's not like Alabamians are made of money.
Oh, and as for those of you who just love to make fun of us Alabamians/southerners in general... People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones!
