EchoBooming in Birmingham

Birmingham Blues went to Montgomery in order to witness the hearing surrounding the District 54 race (which is slowly begining to garner some national attention).

Her observations are best summed up in this paragraph:

I talk (sic) to a source who does not wish to be named who says that Joe Reed, head of the legislative black caucus, was initially appointed to serve on the subcommittee. That sounds questionable, given that he strongly supported Ms. Hendricks in the runoff. It becomes even more questionable when I hear that Ms. Hendricks’ check for the contest filing fee bounced, and Mr. Reed covered it. This presented a conflict of interest (no sh*t), so he couldn’t serve on the committee, and supposedly there wasn’t enough time to replace him.

(emphasis mine)

Sounds like typical Alabama Politics to me .
