The STINKING LANDFILL and the people behind it

 




Tuscumbia, Sheffield, and Muscle Shoals have created a stinking mess through their partnership in a 3 way group, SWADA. In 2020, the members of the SWADA (Mayors Bubba Underwood, Mayor Steve Stanley, and Mayor Mike Lockhart) got a BOND ISSUE to operate the landfill.

Within 3 years, upon advice and guidance from Attorney Heflin and chairman Bubba Underwood, Muscle Shoals Mayor Mike Lockhart and Sheffield Mayor Steve Stanley agreed to once again get a SECOND BOND ISSUE of $35 MILLION in October 2023 to pay off the first bond issue, give $60,000 to Tom Heflin for his legal advice along with $75,000 to a new attorney brought on board a few months prior to the bond issue, and finally pay off a LINE OF CREDIT of over 3 MILLION DOLLARS. After the palms were greased and cronies were taken care of, Bubba Underwood and Tom Heflin resign from SWADA and then enters Tuscumbia Mayor William Foster.

How, in only SEVEN MONTHS is there a need to ADD 3 MILLION MORE DOLLARS OF DEBT after a 35 MILLION DOLLAR bond issue in October 2023?

Why is TOM HEFLIN speaking to council members when he is no longer the attorney for SWADA? He was paid for years by SWADA (you and me) plus his $60,000.00 from the 2nd bond issue. HOW MUCH ARE WE (SWADA) PAYING HIM FOR BEING THEIR MOUTHPIECE AGAIN?

BUBBA UNDERWOOD failed to tell the citizens of Muscle Shoals we are responsible for a 35 MILLION dollar bond issue when he boasted about him and Mike Lockhart putting together a 65 MILLION DOLLARS project that would bankrupt our city. What else is he, Heflin, and the 3 mayors hiding? BUBBA UNDERWOOD was chairman of SWADA and signed the 35 MILLION DOLLAR BOND papers but did not divulge that to us, the citizens of Muscle Shoals. What else do we not know???

MUSCLE SHOALS CITY COUNCIL – VOTE NO ON JUNE 3rd . COUNCIL MEMBERS, DO YOUR JOBS AND DEMAND THE FINANCIALS FROM SWADA AND MAKE THEM PUBLIC BEFORE YOU VOTE ON THIS SCAM.

MS Council - You are going to bankrupt our city. Do you want to be like Tuscumbia and Sheffield? We are better than that. It’s bad enough that our employees are not being paid like promised and work is being contracted out because of broken equipment. The streets are not in too bad of shape – but the trash, broken fences, molded buildings and other issues are adding up quickly with no end in sight and no surplus in your budget.

QUIT SPENDING LIKE DRUNKEN SAILORS – GET YOUR HOUSE IN ORDER AND REDUCE THE DEBT. If you can’t pay for what you have, you need to go home and let responsible people do the job.

There are 35 MILLION REASONS to VOTE NO (not to count the 30 MILLION DOLLARS in interest on top of that). We are on the hook.

VOTE 2025 – THROW THE STINKY ONES OUT THAT VOTE TO APPROVE ADDITIONAL DEBT.

  1. It's almost like Muscle Shoals WANTS to go BROKE! The City Council and rotten Mayor (s) should be taught a couple of VERY strong Lessons. Perhaps there's an Attorney out there who would like to create a Class Action Suit of the Residents of MS against those trying to ruin the City. Any of you Legal Eagles listening ?

  2. As some one that has to deal with that (dump) of a dump. Please let it die. The people who live around it have to deal with the smell.
    Then the fire department was constantly getting calls from people traveling through for a gas leak. I need to mention the community calling at first for a gas smell. Causing us to burn our fuel going to the station and burn fuel in a cash strapped organization. While someone is getting rich.

    Let it rot in peace!!
