Kenneth Eugene Smith & Jimmy Sandlin

He made a mistake; he's sorry. He has apologized to the public and asked for the forgiveness of anyone he has hurt.

That being said, he wants a second chance. He will never repeat his misguided actions--he will do only good in the future. He will be the asset to the community he has always believed himself to be.

Should he have that second chance? Yes or No? Only one answer please...

Oh, are we discussing Kenneth Eugene Smith or Jimmy Sandlin? Does it matter? All the facts presented above apply to both men. So, yes or no?

Surely you wouldn't say no to Kenneth Eugene Smith who murdered Elizabeth Dorlene Sennett, but say yes to Jimmy Sandlin who used taxpayer funding to create a job for his friend. After all, that would be hypocritical, wouldn't it?

News from Cherokee by C. R.

Several people in Cherokee Wednesday morning saw Cherokee City Clerk Melinda Malone at a JV cheer leading meeting around 8:50 a.m. till 10:00 a.m. Malone must not be worried since her husband is on the City Council and new City Councilwomen Mason thinks it is OK for Malone to leave anytime she wants, as long she puts up a note on the city hall door. Someone needs to put a note on Mason that states "if only I had a brain."

Councilwoman Patricia Mason's husband has been running his mouth around town and might get his wife in trouble. The husband John Mason has told several people that Patricia Mason and the other council members Glover, Malone, Franks and city clerk are getting along so well. They get together all the time to discuss city business. The meetings have been going on for over two weeks at a house in Cherokee. That would explain the comments that Glover and Mason made during the council meeting, Councilman Steve Glover stated we already have made a decision and Councilwomen Mason stated we have already called the Alabama League of Municipalities.

John Mason did not stop there. He stated the four are actively trying to run off Mayor Lansdell and Councilwomen Lambert. The replacements, Mignon Willis would take Lambert's council seat and Councilman Steve Glover would take over as Mayor.
