TRUTH

In response to Councilman Brown about his position on the Waterfront, https://www.facebook.com/groups/FairhopeNow/ http://www.gulfcoastnewstoday.com/stories/op-ed-positive-change-always-met-with-stubborn-opposition,95207 Leslie Callies Hollis This was my comment to Robert Brown weeks ago on this subject : Robert, you and many others may not like my comment. But I am going to say it anyway. The public bay front has evolved and seen many changes over the course of my lifetime- If I had time, I would lay out a timetable for you to see the changes and how they evolved for the public to enjoy.

Sting

Please vote today. JERRY CARL. Mr. Carl’s opposition is CATALYST and CATALYST home base is Fairhope. JERRY CARL for the First Congressional District. The Fairhope three B’s are rooting for the CATALYST candidate “Lowtower” Don’t get stung Baldwin County. https://rippreport.com/vote-jerry-carl-today/ Fairhope municipal election qualifications has 7 days left, July 21. Two very important seats have yet to be challenged, Jack Burrell and Robert Brown. There are people that are considering running against them, however, they have not committed as yet.

CATALYST STACKING THE DECK

Get ready Fairhope, CATALYST is now working under the Scott Boone Consulting banner. CATALYST can be best described as: “Intricate web of multiple concentric layers of companies that are intermingled around and intended, among other things, to conceal the interrelationships among and between, and to insulate from liability” The FBI defines a criminal enterprise as “a group of individuals with an identified hierarchy, or comparable structure, engaged in significant criminal activity.

INVITATION

Fairhope Mayor Wilson is inviting the citizens of Fairhope, again, to participate in the next upcoming presentation of the Waterfront project. “Wilson told citizens on June 18, ‘We are going back to the drawing board and urging those who did not take part in the three month engagement process earlier this year to please participate.’” https://lagniappemobile.com/fairhope-reopening-public-participation-on-proposed-park-project/ {Lagniappe has a paywall on this article, you can get a free copy at newsstands}

WHERE HELL WERE YOU?

Fairhope is closing in on another municipal election so get ready for CATALYST and the ill informed to try and convince voters that they know best. The latest issue is the plan for the waterfront, pier and parks at the bay. The funding comes from the BP oil spill in 2010. The cycle for funding and approval took years and grants were very specific outlining the scope of work. The last three years the waterfront project has been on the table.

A DECADE OF CORRUPTION

Baldwin County is a cesspool of political and judicial corruption. In the last 10 years the citizens of Baldwin County, especially Fairhope, have been slapped in the face with blatant corruption. Complaints to the Attorney General do not even generate a response. The Judiciary, Bar and Ethics Commission have a repeated record of one paragraph responses dismissing any and all documented evidence. !0 years ago this week State Senator Tripp “Boom Boom” Pittman and Fairhope Mayor Tim Kant, using Fairhope Staff, Greg Mims, Sherry Sullivan and Jennifer Fidler, to name a few, secured a bid for $636,000.

CATALYST TRAIN WRECK

Instead of a lot of links and dialog, this Freaky Friday is going to feature a portion of lasts nights Fairhope City Council Meeting: The City Attorney is appointed by the City Council as is the Municipal Judge. Replace the Council and you can reappoint a new City Attorney and Municipal Judge, that are not CATALYST. The McSharry case is corruption staring you in the face. Ask yourself what if this was your daughter, sister, mother or friend that was assaulted?

CATALYST SHIT CREEK

The Ripp Report has written about CATALYST for years. We have filed numerous complaints with the Attorney General involving political corruption and have received no reply. It seems that political corruption is not as important as the sewer violations. It is also interesting that all the complaints about Fly Creek and Publix were ignored by ADEM, Alabama Department of Environmental Management, aka Alabama Department of Environmental Maniacs, years ago. State files suit against city of Fairhope for sewage deficiencies - Lagniappe Mobile State files suit against city of Fairhope for sewage deficiencies - Lagniappe Mobile The Alabama Department of Environmental Management and Attorney General Steve Marshall filed suit against the city of Fairhope Friday, alleging it violated several permit requirements for reporting and discharging pollutants from its wastewater treatment plant for a five-year period between April 2015 and April 2020.

CATALYST JUSTICE

How many people remember Sen Tripp Pittman and his theft of BP money to the tune of $750,000 dollars? How many people remember our new Senator, Chris Elliott, and his DUI charge? How many remember former Mayor Cant and his misuse of FEMA funds? How about Councilman Robert Brown and his inside deal with the Fairhope Art Center? Or Jack Burrell and his bid rigging? All of the above escaped any responsibility for their actions and guess what?

CATALYST PLAYERS

Everyone in Baldwin County should be aware of CATALYST. They are a powerful, mostly secret, political group that represent the Status Quo, the good ole boys. Good ole boys exist in many places however in Baldwin County they have been bold enough to adopt the title of CATALYST. In 2018, mid-term elections, CATALYST almost pulled off the perfect political coup. CATALYST ran candidates for almost every Baldwin County race. If it had not been for several social media sources and Lagniappe informing the public what was going on, CATALYST would have had control of Baldwin County Government.
