FAUXHOPE - KNOW THE BACKSTORY
“The developer will do whatever the hell he wants, without any accountability” THIS IS THE BACKSTORY TO GENERIC REPORTING: The culvert issue was first addressed by the Ripp Report and lawsuits filed against the city over the Publix project on Parker Road.

FOOT IN HIS MOUTH
Chris Elliott is a professional politician who has been the Baldwin County Sheriff’s legislature puppet from the day he was elected. First for Hoss Mack, now Anthony Lowery.

Elliott constantly bypasses the Baldwin County Legislature body on many issues …
FAUXHOPE
Want to know why so many people refer to Fairhope as Fauxhope? Consider this: Fauxhope is a tree city. What a joke Fauxhope is more responsible for tree REMOVAL than anyone. The caption is a live oak that HAD a 6 foot 2 inch diameter. It stood proud for decades, if not a century. The tree was on a knoll making it the tallest tree in the area. I was told by city officials that they had no knowledge …
BACKPEDALING FAUXHOPE
The backwards backpedaling Fauxhope City Council had to eat crow when it came to eliminating public participation at council meetings. Of course the matter of free speech and public participation was front and center when they denied yours truly the right to speak. The public outcry was resounding and the council got the message loud and clear. Councilman Jack Burrell threw Councilman Martin under …
FAIRHOPE FREE YEAR
I bet only 1 or 2% of the voters in Fairhope know that not one city council person, the mayor or the appointed municipal attorney and municipal judge have been elected or appointed for there 5th year in office. The Alabama legislature thought it necessary to postpone municipal elections in 2024 due to the presidential election. A free year in office, full family insurance and the ability to make …
Fairhope Infrastructure

ROUND HOUSE SQUARE HEADS

FAUXHOPE HISTORY
Historic Preservation what a joke. No one is more responsible for the demolition of historic buildings and houses in Fauxhope than the Mayor and council. Second would be the First Baptist Church who destroyed numerous houses for parking lots. But they are not called parking lots even though they are used for parking lots. Historic preservation, water, infrastructure, annexing, and continuously …
FAUXHOPE CRIER

Fauxhope has a new City Council Crier, Councilman Cory Martin. This is no surprise the balance of the council hides from the public and rarely return phone calls. This also goes for the unqualified Utility Director and developer candidate/ Mayor. So Cory will be the new uninformed spokesperson, and, sacrificial lamb, for the Fauxhope council. For those that are just catching up, Fauxhope …

I SEE YOU
The Fauxhope City Council agenda looks like business as usual. However a closer look just shows how the council is doing what THEY damn well want to do, without public discussion. Oh sure they have public participation for three minutes per person. Those who have follow the development elected council know the council is deaf when it comes to any public participation. Monday’s night council did …
