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.
Ahead of the August 26, 2025 Fairhope City Council election, we expose how local officials systematically ignore public concerns.

We flash back to when we offered a five-thousand-dollar cash reward to anyone who could disprove corruption charges against Jack Burrell.

Revisiting our coverage of the Fairhope City Council playing high-stakes legal games with taxpayer money over private land developments.

In this repost, we examine how special interests in Fairhope protected violent bar owners and wasted public funds on bad lawsuits. City Attorney Marcus McDowell shielded political allies like Jack Burrell while letting dangerous individuals off the hook. This culture of favoritism still threatens safety and accountability throughout our local municipal government.
District Attorney Robert Wilters and Sheriff Anthony Lowery continue to block justice for an innocent man to protect their own careers. Newly unsealed court filings demonstrate how officials willfully suppressed alibi testimonies and autopsy evidence for two decades. Institutional corruption keeps innocent citizens behind bars while perpetrators hold office.
As part of our August 2025 Fairhope mayoral and council election coverage, we reveal how Jack Burrell and Mayor Sherry Sullivan defend the political machine. Burrell bullies critics and wastes taxpayer cash on failed developer projects while Sullivan collects two unearned city paychecks.
