County Commission place three has three candidates trying to run over the skunk of the County Commission, Tucker Dorsey. Democrat Heather Brown and Republicans Will McDaniel and Billy Joe Underwood.
Tucker Dorsey showed his stripes before even taking office. He, Bob James and Frank Burt had meetings before being sworn in. As soon as they had been sworn in the three had an alliance and fired over 10 people from the county employment, department heads, lawyers, county manager and the EMA director.
Baldwin County will be voting for all four county commissioners seats. The Ripp Report will be posting meet and greets for many candidates, no charge. Any comments, such as this, is the sole responsibility of the Ripp Report. County commission seat three, presently held by Tucker Dorsey, has several candidates trying to unseat Mr Dorsey.
A vote for Tucker Dorsey is a vote for Clarence Burke, Baldwin County Sewer, and Catalyst.
Here is a picture of the four Baldwin County Commissioners that need to be put to pasture. The perfect pasture would be that 35 million dollar plus mega site that the commissioners have saddled their constitutions with and financed on the back of county employees.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT In 2012 the Baldwin County Commission convinced itself that Baldwin County needed to spend 32 Million dollars on 2300 usable acres called the Mega site.

The good ole boy network in Baldwin County is connected by LLC’s. One LLC may cover another LLC that covers another LLC, making it almost impossible to determine who owns what. Elected officials, such as city council members and county commissioners hide their business and personal connections to these LLC’S. By doing this, they are able to vote and promote their own interests without being discovered. Or so they thought.
There is no arguing that Alabama is in very sad shape when it comes to the state’s political structure and the lack of any leadership. Alabama’s republican and democrat’s are in an abyss, wandering aimlessly, clueless as to what it will take to bring Alabama out of not the third world but the dark ages. They have done a good job of selling the voters in the state a bill of goods that serves them the best.
Commissioner Tucker Dorsey the citizens of Baldwin County have lost confidence in you.
You began your political life as a commissioner by firing the county manager, EMA director county attorneys and others.
Outgoing Baldwin County commissioners fire county administrator and planning, personnel directors BAY MINETTE, Alabama – In the last meeting for the current board of commissioners, officials fired three directors and demoted a fourth upon the employees; request and voted to support the Baldwin County Watershed Coalition’s stormwater initiative.
“HARD FACTS” Baldwin County Commissioner, Tucker Dorsey, along with fellow Mobile Area Boy Scout Board of Directors, has released that the Local Council again lost almost $200,000 for 2015. Making the average yearly loss since 2008— and for the past 9 years, of over $200,000 each year — along with even having one year topping the $311,000 mark.
When asked about the loss, Baldwin County Commission and Executive Board Member, could not give a reason other than stating it is even hard for him to understand how the Mobile Area Council could lose so much money every year (average of over $200,000) for that length (9 years in a row) without someone doing anything at all about it.
To Alabama Ethics Commission Statement of Facts: July 29, 2016
I reference to: http://lagniappemobile.com/commissioners-ties-to-businesses-raise-questions/, in particular paragraphs 15 and 16. I realize the Commission pays little attention to print media and you rely on your own investigation to reach a determination, or not, as to any violations of Ethics. I do however hope the very good investigative reporting of Eric Mann, Lagniappe, assists you in what appears a rather obvious conclusion.
