Colbert Super's Race Just Got Dirty




Previously on How Shoals Politics Turns from 2016: Inept superintendent decides not to run in Colbert County. Dr. Gail Satchel elected, and by almost all accounts doing well as his successor.

This week on HSPT: Dr. Satchel makes news for speech at political rally on Colbert County Court House steps. What did she say? That's debatable, but her opponents are certainly making the most of it. More food for thought: Why were her opponents at the rally videoing her, then showcasing her speech on their social media? Right place at right time, or was Dr. Satchel misled as to who her audience would be?

New political star? Enter Chris Hand, Republican candidate for Colbert County super. His supporters have wasted no time in publicizing Satchel's perceived faux pas. 

Quick plot synopsis: Hand is a Republican. Hand's opponent has just morphed from Wonder Woman to Angela Davis in the eyes of many. Double whammy?

Shoalanda's question: Who's pulling the strings? (Horrible thought: Is Muscle Shoals branching out?)
