Published July 27 2024. Sheriff Hoss Mack has one foot out the door and is hoping to slide his second choice, Anthony Lowery in as his “suggested” replacement. Lowery has professed in the past that he did not want the job. He has to know that a ton of crap out of the Hoss Boss closet, is going to expose some very embarrassing incidents involving BCSO. I do hope Lowery reads all the comments on the Ripp Report. If you think that what we printed is revealing, then please consider all the fill-in-the-blanks comments that we did not print. Names, Dates and evidence that match up to the many many allegations in the comments.
It seems that The Speaker's lobbyist Steve Raby is running around with a bag full of out of state gambling interest money. Some seems to have made it into the hands of some executives who work in the Mayor of Birmingham's LGBTQ Office and are using said funds to support a Democrat. To get rid of a thorn in the side of the Alabama Legislature and especially Speaker Ledbetter's, the Democrat Rep for Alabama House District 60 Juandalynn Givan, a true contrarian even in the Democratic ranks (which is a complement to her character).Take a listen and ask your pals if they know Joshua Coleman, Steve Raby, or Dax Swatek. Chances are your legislators (Elliott, Simpson, Allbritton, Holk-Jones and company) already got theirs, along with a candidate for Attorney General, which should make for a comical press conference from her boss who is running for US Senate. This should sink some ships but in Alabama News we call this "Just another Thursday".
It is a story that is hard to believe and you need to listen carefully before you vote. Recognize these names? They convicted an innocent man. Anthony Lowery: Lead investigator in Lawrence case, who found no evidence against Lawrence. He is a candidate for sheriff. Lowery is a product of Hoss Mack. Mack promoted Lowery, through the years. Lowery has no field experience, except for carrying Mack’s water. Kristy Haygood Asst. D.A. candidate for a judge position, who filed inaccurate and false statements about Murray Lawrence jr. She protected her boss, D.A. Wilters, who was the judge in Lawrence case, from exposure of malicious prosecution. Haygood is not qualified to Judge anyone. Lowery and Haygood are candidates seeking election who are guilty of lying, fraud, unethical behavior, and self-serving conduct, for convicting, and not seeking justice for an innocent man.
I am sure most people may have seen the hit piece, a mailed flier, on candidate Mike Vandenheuvel aka Mike Van, who is challenging State Senator Chris Elliott. It really should enlighten you on what a sneaky dirty politician Elliott is. Mike DID NOT call Elliott a lying dirt bag politician, or a self serving christian hypocrite. Mike REFRAINED from calling Elliott the head of the snake known as Catalyst and the good ole Boys, GOB, of Baldwin. Mike didn’t mention Elliott’s connection to gaming interests and that Elliott’s ambition is to become the commissioner for gaming in Alabama. Mike DID NOT point out that Elliott knew about the solar fields a very long time ago. The Ripp Report DID.
Published March 3rd 2022 Baldwin County is full of laughs lately. Politics can cause mental damage and in Baldwin County we need an insane asylum for a few of them. First we have the “TAX MAN” Chris Elliott, he prefers the title State Senator, saying he has solved the School separation lawsuit between Gulf Shores and Baldwin County Superintendent Eddie Tyler. The reason there is a lawsuit is that Mr Tyler went back on his published promise to abide by the decision of the State Board of Education. Elliott is also talking down development in public while his record supports all the development his CATALYST friends can get their hands on. Elliott was covering for Tyler, his partner on the penny tax, that no one got to vote on.
There are three branches of government in Alabama, but here in Baldwin County there is a cabal that controls who sits on our bench via political influence with the State Executive Branch coordinated right here... and not by any political party. Then there is the bombshell that Draft Kings (yes the gaming app) is supporting pro-gaming legislators for the upcoming 4 years and the creation of the Alabama Gaming Commission. And that they may be in negotiations with PCI Gaming (that would be the Porch Band of Creek Indians) related to a merger or acquisition. Check your mail box, you are the target.
Yes the "machine don't bleed". The age of Eddie Tyler and his merry band of ethically flexible attorneys and best pal consultants has come to an end. Lots of backstory to this one. And then there is the resignation letter of a 20 year Baldwin County Sheriffs Deputy who makes no explicit accusations only that "these are Ungodly men" running the place. And then there is the $16.3 Million we are spending on the Golden Triangle to build a bridge over Fish River and a boulevard for the benefit of one developer. Want to wager on who that developer is? Afroman wins a verdict for us all. And a tell of a trip to the Holy Land... by Mrs. Tom Bradley Jr (Pat Bradley) just in time for the war to kick off. Hear about her trip and exodus. And the War, weapons, logistics, energy, diplomacy, cow algorithms and Lemon Pound Cake is now the official food of the Libertarian Party.
Deputies and officers with the Sheriff department are sounding off about the sorry state of affairs within the department. Hoss Mack knew what he was doing when he dumped 20 years of problems on Lowery’s back. Now Lowery is bragging about the “CULTURE” he inherited, and adopted, from Hoss the Boss. Problem is that culture favors the good ole boys, aka GOB. The chain of command is arbitrary, accountability and transparency often disappears through favoritism. Internal cover-ups are a common practice. Sexual incidents within the department, from high ranking officers to patrol, would rival any soap opera.
It seems the Baldwin County Sheriff's Department has internal hanky panky problems. One of the top officers in the Sheriff's Department has been having a little extra curricular activity with a subordinate female employee, who is married to a fellow officer. No official action by the sheriff has been taken, in fact, looks like it's covered up from the public. Why should we care? Because the Sheriff's Department is well known for cover ups. The problem is that fellow officers are now wondering how this situation is not public and severe action has not been taken against the senior officer. The Ripp Report has had 3 different people call us giving us dates, names and ranks of the individuals involved. Let's see how Sheriff Hoss Mack is going to spin this sordid story.
EYES, That is all it takes to see the obvious. The good ole boy network, GOB, in Baldwin County is shameless, They know low voter turnout, constituent ignorance and the cabal of corrupt politicians, judges and lawyers will cover their ass. Good News: The GOB network is eroding and panicking at the obvious push back by the 14 incorporated municipalities within Baldwin County. In our last election concerned voters flipped 4 GOB municipalities. The biggest win was Bay Minette getting Bob Wills out of office. An investigation into his time as Mayor would take a bulldozer to turn over all the dirty laundry under his watch. Start with Steelwood and the new pipe line co??? Also ask him why he wants Harry Still silenced?
