Saluting Billy Underwood

We have been online friends with Mr. Billy Underwood for some years now. We have found him to be a man of probity and integrity. He is also a man who is a Democrat in a world dominated by Republicans; further, he is a man who has practiced successfully for many years and has, therefore, accumulated a certain measure of wealth. Such men make enemies.

We feel when all charges have been heard against Billy, they will be dropped as groundless. If they aren't? That in no way diminishes our opinion of Mr. Underwood.

We understand that two attorneys have joined Billy's firm in Tuscumbia to assist him in cases he cannot handle in the state courts at this time. Both attorneys are extremely competent, and we'll be having more on them later. 

Billy told us some time ago that he had more cases than he could handle. We also know that he recently had surgery on his shoulder. Perhaps this is God's way of telling Billy to slow down?

Thank you, Mr. Underwood, for all you've done for the Shoals!

What's wrong with our schools? We can't tell you everything that's wrong either here or across the state. We can tell our readers that schools can't teach everything a child needs to know in six hours, while parents don't care what the child does the remaining hours of the day. 

Nothing will change until parents change. End of...
