Carole Smitherman took over operations as Interim Mayor of Birmingham, AL after her predecessor was convicted of over 60 felony counts of fraud….PAUSE!!!! Her predecessor Larry Langford took bribes in exchange for contract bids to go to an old friend while he was a County Administrator. Because his friend’s firm bungled those bids the County is looking at a deficit of over 3 billion dollars, and is considering filing for bankruptcy….Langford could spend the rest of his life in jail.
Several problems with this situation…if this article is about Carole Smitherman…why is there almost no mention of her?!?! SEXISM Also if I was the people in that county I would beat the shit outta that man make him give us a full accounting of the finances!! SMH @ this!!! Check it out!!
