Every now and then you get a candidate interested in public service that is highly skilled and over qualified. Someone who is willing to use his skills he learned in private business to a position of public servant. Dr. Byrian Ramsey is one of those candidates.
I have followed Fairhope politics for over 23 years and if there is an example of the Good Ole Boy Club, Fairhope wins, hands down. The key player in the club is councilman Jack Burrell. Who has become the most infamous flip flopping, double talking, lying politician in Baldwin County. His time in office has racked so many questionable actions, side deals, conflicts of interests, quid quo pro deals and bids that it would take a book to list them all.
Two questions every voter should be asking in this city council election: Should the mayor take a second salary as utilities director or should that money fund a qualified engineer to oversee electric, gas, water and sewer? Do you support creating council districts so that citizens have a clear representative instead of five at-large seats that protect special interests?
Article from Alabama Gazette Following the Alabama Gazette's recent coverage of the wrongful conviction claims surrounding inmate Murray "Bubba" Lawrence, Jr., his longtime advocacy team is drawing attention to another troubling chapter: the unexpected disengagement of a Birmingham law firm during a critical moment in his post-conviction fight. Lawrence, now having just completed his second decade of imprisonment, has maintained his innocence from the outset-as does the original court transcript. According to lead advocate Francis Paul Ripp, the firm of Maxwell-Tillman had agreed-verbally and through a formal invoice-and with three advocacy witnesses present-to assist in drafting a federal writ of habeas corpus, after all district, appeal, and state-level avenues were exhausted. Nearly half of the firm's stated fee was promptly rendered as a down-payment.
There’s a parcel of land in Baldwin County that’s never been talked about publicly — until now. It’s publicly owned, strategically placed, and tied to a zoning designation that doesn’t match what’s actually there.
Baldwin County may not always make headlines, but it has quietly become one of the most politically influential regions in Alabama — where power is consolidated, narratives are controlled, and those in charge rarely face consequences. Which is why the recent promotion of former Baldwin County Sheriff Hoss Mack should give every Alabamian pause.

Fairhope is playing Russian Roulette in court and the city council has not said a word to the general public. The gun is cocked and aimed at the head of the Fairhope council, the absolute worst in 20 years, who is asleep at the wheel. Tim Kant’s past bad deeds are catching up with Fairhope. First was the Dyas, Triangle, lawsuit. The Mayor, Timmy, and the then council, Boone and Burrell, who were present, pulled a fast one on the city taxpayers. They claimed to settle the lawsuit and the purchase of land, as a “WIN”. This was an absolute lie and cost Fairhope 11.25 million dollars. On top of that the council pledged to the sellers that they were going to build a park. This all turned out to be total B. S. The land remains vacant to this day.
