We have only 4 months until the primary election June 5 2018.
Baldwin County is in a position to change the political makeup of the good ole boys with candidates that are fed up with back room deals. The first step was taken by the election of Mayor Karen Wilson. The good ole boy network counted on former Mayor Kant and Sen Pittman to keep the wheels greased in Bay Minette. Fairhope WAS the facilitator, NOT NOW, the wheel of corruption has stopped and all those valuable “connections” are gone, fired, retired or drying up.
Baldwin County has now the opportunity to vote out as many county commissioners as possible. It will be important to vet the candidates as never before. Who are faux candidates or placement candidates by Catalyst? The Ripp Report will dig in hard on many aspects of the elections. In addition to the County Commissioners, Sheriff, Judge of Probate, Coroner and State Senate seat 32, previously held by boom boom Pittman, are all on the election agenda.
We also have the infamous Judge Michelle Thomason running for Court of Civil Appeals. This will be a tricky decision. The Judge has racked up quite a negative reputation as a Circuit Judge in Family Court and let us not forget she was the first client of Catalyst. The tricky part is that many people would like to see her go and they may find themselves voting for her in order to show her the door out of Baldwin County.
Alabama is also going to elect a new Governor and Attorney General. Our utmost priority should be to break the mold of electing flawed candidates. Alabama Governors and Attorney General’s of the past all have had baggage that has taken the state backwards.
The Alabama Attorney General needs to have a commitment to exposing and prosecuting elected officials involved in political corruption. The AG’s office needs to start by biting the head off the Ethics Commission, who are guilty of aiding and abetting corruption while protecting the very officials that need to be held accountable.
Alabama is first in political corruption, until that changes we will remain last in every thing else.

Pittman is still breathing. As a result he remains a threat to good folks everywhere. Thanks for exposing this criminal who stole bp boom grants people!!!!
We must unite against the goobers. Jack is best friends with Pittman.They are terrible. Thieves who feed at the public trough. We must stop.
Billy Jo Underwood is a woman. Fyi boyz.
There is “NO” reason to bring up Trip Pittman’s name again. With getting only 7% of the votes while running for US Senate and after ripping off close to a million dollars off of us boat captains and other companies that could have done boom work and then Pittman lying about it. Let’s stop bringing up the name.
Stanton Pierce, is there a certain point or reason that you wanted everyone to know that Billy Jo Underwood is a woman and that you wanted “the Boyz” to know that. Can you explain why and what your reasoning for your comment?
Please be a little more clearer regarding your comment. Thank you?
The voters of Baldwin county should be aware of the connections of Tucker Dorsey, candidate for place 3 on the Baldwin County Commission, to Clarence Burke and Baldwin County Sewer System. Dorsey and Burke are business partners in one or more corporations run by Burke. You will remember that in 2008, the Baldwin County Commission voted to give East Central Baldwin Water control over sewer in it’s service area. This was strongly opposed by Clarence Burke and Baldwin County Sewer System. It appears that Mr. Burke is trying to get his man on county commission. Would this be like the fox guarding the hen house?
For those not aware, here is a bio Tucker gave to the Press Register: “A native of Atlanta, Dorsey graduated from the University of Georgia. He moved to Baldwin County 1994 and has worked locally in homebuilding and real estate, including managing a large residential development company, Magnolia River Management LLC, and assisting in building a regional wastewater system.”
The regional waste water treatment system is BCSS and both men are involved in Magnolia River Management LLC with Burke’s Summit Const. Co. as the Registered Agent for the company.
There is an anti-incumbent bias with the voters this year but in this case the change could be worse that the incumbent.
Billy jo is way hotter.
I’ve decided to run against Trip Pittman for whatever he runs against. He said he was sorry but he is not nearly as sorry when I beat his decrepit fat ass.
Some one is posting my name—I do not do this type of thing
But Bob G. Definitely reads ripp report.
