Chris Hall, Character and Competency Aren't the Same Thing

Chris Hall is a Muscle Shoals City Councilman; Ed Bowman is a local political activist. Recently Mr. Bowman questioned Chris Hall's track record on accountability and competency while in office; Hall then circumvented the questions and accused Bowman of attacking his character.

Perhaps it does say something about character to take a salary to represent citizens, then fail to do so? Here, warts and all, is the exchange in question:

It’s pretty sad (which isn’t a surprise) when you question your elected officials and they refuse to answer questions that we as the people elected them. Arrogance!

Here’s the questions I ask of Muscle Shoals City Councilmen Chris Hall and below that is his response.

Mr. Chris Hall. I’m assuming that you’re running for re-election for your Muscle Shoals City Council seat again.

You’re asking my friends, family and I to vote for you again but you haven’t been to interested in the things that have been plaguing our great city. Asking the tough questions.
But it seems that since you’re running again you have much to say.

So!!! If you wouldn’t mind taking a moment to address my questions, serious questions, then it would help my family and I make the decision whether to vote for you or not.

Questions:

•Due to the fact that 22 to 23 officers have left the MSPD since chief Clint Reck has been police chief, have you asked why so many have left during Chief Reck’s administration? He’s been chief for only 4 years!

•On September 3, 2019 Muscle Shoals City Council meeting, where I addressed the City Council (you were present) and the Mayor concerning Willie Simpson’s sex halfway house in the Camden Cove west subdivision. During my speech I laid out how the residents in that subdivision have repeatedly called the city council and mayor’s office concerning this, with no response!
How is it Mr. Simpson can run a business out of his house without a business license? And!!! Why haven’t you ask questions on why the residents pleas for answers were ignored?

•I’m assuming were not aware of this! Are you aware (for some time now) that Mayor David Bradford has NOT been living in side the city limits of Muscle Shoals? Are you also aware of the fact that Mayor Bradford voted for the last tax the Muscle Shoals school board wanted, while NOT LIVING inside the city limits? If you were aware of this, did you ask the how’s and why’s?

Being a good leader is asking the tough questions! Being a good leader is standing up for what’s right!

I look forward to you answering your constituents.
