Bevill Prexy Bumbles & Stutts Stumbles

Bevill State primarily serves six counties, the closest to the Shoals being Marion and Winston. Last year Bevill's president Kim Ennis wanted to close out three vocational programs at the Hamilton campus, stating they didn't have the enrollment to make them worthwhile from a monetary standpoint.

Rep. Johnny Mack Morrow led the successful thrust to reinstate the programs. One would have thought that state senator Larry Stutts would have joined in, but it seems he "had more important fish to fry" as he has stated in connection with other local concerns. 

But simply getting the programs reinstated wasn't the end of the saga. Rep. Morrow discovered that Ennis had used old data to prove her point about low enrollment and antiquated curricula. Morrow and others requested Sen. Larry Stutts' help in gathering the correct information. What did Stutts do?

See What Stutts Did!

If you guessed that Stutts did nothing to help the situation at the Hamilton campus, you would be absolutely correct. That's right. Larry Stutts did nothing to fight the fraudulent report from Ennis. (Ennis has stated the whole thing was a misunderstanding.)

So when the Hamilton area goes to the polls in November, for whom will they be voting? Will they choose Larry Stutts who for whatever reason refused to help the Bevill State Hamilton campus, or Johnny Mack Morrow who went to bat to get their discontinued programs restored? 

Not a tough decision for those voters, is it? How about for the rest of District 6?
