100 VOICES

April 06, 2019

First let me apologize for not getting out the Wonderful Wednesday and for the delay of Freaky Friday this week. The Ripp Report has been following many different issues throughout the County and this last week was especially busy.

In Fairhope the City Council believes that the citizens elected them to make all the decisions for the community. It only takes three votes of the council for a decision to be made. The Fairhope Council does not understand that they are suppose to LISTEN to their constituents. All their constituents.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

Think about that! Three votes and a decision can be made by a Council, without hearing a word from their constituents.

Fairhope is trying a little something different and if it works it will greatly enhance Community Engagement. Let’s hope the Council is listening.

Fairhope to host meeting on future of K-1 Center - Lagniappe Mobile

The city of Fairhope is hosting a community discussion on the future of its K-1 Center Wednesday, but at this point the property still belongs to the Baldwin County School Board. The former school building is one of three properties the city has agreed to purchase from the school board, but while the $4 million …

100 people attended the April 3rd round table discussion on the K-1 Center. There will also be a couple of future public meeting on the subject of K-1 for those who could not attend the April 3rd meeting. The results of all that public input will be presented to the Fairhope City council. Will the Council listen to a hundred voices? Or depend on 3 votes?

POSTER BOY OF CORRUPTION
Tom Albritton, the head of the Alabama Ethics Commission, is accused of unethical behavior related to a trust. Despite this, he remains in office with a high salary and even teaches ethics. Some people think he’s a classic case of a sociopath.
LEE COUNTY NO-JUSTICE CENTER
Justice Centers, often hailed as a step toward fairness and efficiency, are cropping up in communities across the country. But what happens when the very institutions meant to uphold justice become entwined in a fraternity-like atmosphere? In this article, we delve into the dynamics of these centers, where police and courts intersect, and explore the potential implications for due process and accountability.
VOTE MARCH 5th
When will Baldwin County wake up and vote in new blood. The GOB, Good ole Boys, have a strangle hold on Baldwin County. They determine the candidates that will tow the line or raise their hand when told to do so. Sheriff Hoss Mack calls the shots and Mayors just bend over. The school system, Eddie and Gray, have job security guaranteed, as long as they go along. Their is no accountability or transparency as long as this cabal exists.
ALABAMA ATTORNEY GENERAL
The Ripp Report filed two complaints with the Alabama Attorney General’s office. For misconduct by the Alabama Ethics Commission’s director and requests a review of past dismissed complaints. And the wrongful conviction of Murray Lawrence in Baldwin County.
SMELL TEST
The good ole boys (GOB), are known for prioritizing getting their preferred candidate elected even if it means bending the rules. They don’t mind conflicts of interest, unethical behavior, or questionable tactics as long as they stay on the legal side, barely. Even switching political parties doesn’t matter to them.
VOTE SMART
How do you select the best candidate for the job? In Baldwin County the first thing you do is eliminate the Catalyst candidate. Many years ago Lynn Stacy was a political operative in Baldwin County that would guarantee candidates a win. He represented the most hardened of the Baldwin County good ole boys, GOB. Then came Stacy Haygood and Elliott, Haygood became Mayor of Daphne and Elliott became a county commissioner.
ALABAMA ETHICS COMMISION HIDE THE LIST
If you are caught stealing 10 dollars from Wal-Mart, YOU are going to jail. If you steal 3.2 Million and distribute those funds to Judges, Bankers, Lawyers and Politicians by using a trust, that you are a trustee of, KNOW, you could get away with it, in Alabama. Especially if you happen to be the Executive Director of the Ethics Commission, Mr. Tom Albritton. Google Lagniappe, Mabel Amos Trust, Tom Albritton,The Ripp Report.
NO JUSTICE
The Baldwin County District Attorney Robert Wilters, was the presiding Judge in the Murray Lawrence case. Sheriff Hoss Mack was the lead investigator and David Whetstone was the prosecutor. They all signed a coroners report in relation to the exhumed body of Brandon Hastings. This report was recently found, however during the trial it was never provided to the defense. This was not an inadvertent mistake. Suppressing the report from the defense was willful and deliberate and deprived the defense of valuable information supporting the cause of death as suffocation, NOT gunshot.
DEAF EARS
Mr Steve Marshall Dear Sir: I wish to address two complaints that I have submitted to your office: First is the complaint I filed with your office, Attention Clark Morris, in Sept. 2022 against Alabama Ethics Commissions Executive Director Mr Tom Albrittion. I am aware of the lawsuit your office has filed against him, however Mr. Albritton has remained the executive director of the ethics commission, with a handsome paycheck. This singular hypocritical fact disgraces the ethics commission and erodes any function or ethical standards the commission once had.
