I apologize that The Ripp Report missed the last two Wonderful Wednesday’s, we should be back on schedule by the first of the new year.
Baldwin County has 14 municipalities, 14 Mayors, a County Commission and 15 different Planning and Zoning departments, throughout Baldwin County, all work independent of each other.
For instance Daphne allows apartments to be built on Highway 98, within a mile Fairhope approves apartments also on 98. In between the approximately 500 apartments are three traffic lights and a school zone. Daphne and Fairhope never communicated with one another as to the traffic or other issues that were impacted by their independent decisions.
At least one person is paying attention, Miriam Boutwell. She has helped to establish, Plan Lower AL Now {PLAN}. Baldwin County desperately needs such an organization as , PLAN. Let’s hope the municipalities and county commission agree and participate.

In the past, if Miriam Boutwell was presented with a problem in her role as Foley’s community development director, she and her staff had to find a way to solve it. But with a new organization she helped establish, Plan Lower AL Now (PLAN), there might be another person within the group who has already …

The need for PLAN becomes even more apparent when you consider the latest statistics involving residential growth within the county.
Some say Baldwin County is experiencing, “unprecedented growth”, a better description is a Runaway Train and there is no conductor.

I can smell the ca$h.
Great time to be a catalist. And a realstate agent!!!
Oh yes. I work for a group that finds Catalyst candidates and we are running gangbusters
When I make enough money I am moving to another area. I don’t want to stay in Baldwin County after they are through with it
Sorry for you guys, but I have to make a living
Nothing personal….
does this mean more turds in our jubilees? stop the sewage spills!!!!
I trawl the bay often. Catch plenty shrimp, crab and turds.
And anchors…quite a few.
You will be catching less and less fish and more and more crap as the builders keep up the over building. The question is: How much more crap are you willing to take before you, I, and the others call the bribed- off commission and council members on their antics?
You can thank Trip Pittman for leaving the boom anchors in the bay even after being paid to remove them. Anyone that has anything to do with Trip Pittman is a worthless human being. We will continue to shove this in anything or anyone’s face as long as he is alive. He’s a turd and when are we going to stop smelling that fowl stench from Tucker Dorsey. Damn him too!!!!
Yep more turds until you taxpayers pay for the upgrades. Don’t ask Truland to pay for them, they bought the politicians off awhile ago
So many young hot real estate agents.
We are doomed. Sold out completely.
How can we make Truland pay for what they have done to us?
