AMEN, Carl…how about they put them UNDER the jail?  This is what I’m trying to say about “making an example” out of these criminals.  Chain them together everyday and make them “work” for their meals and water…no tv or ping pong and see if their attitude doesn’t change when ya let them out in a few years down the road.  Maybe, just maybe their “unconstitutional” outlook attitude would change then.  No easy out…and then we might see changes being made so some of us could rest easy at night.  It WILL NOT be an over night cure…but we’ve got to try something new and we’ve got to start somewhere.  What we’re doing is not working.

OYEA! I’m worried about the big banking institutions Claycity but any and all that have received tax payer bailout money need to be held to tighter scrutiny of pay for executives.You shouldn’t get big money for just being there,but for performance.Prichard is just a small part of the many out there that believe they can’t be held accountable for their actions.I believe they should go a few years back on this matter and start hauling some people off to jail,anyway Prichard’s jail wouldn’t be empty anymore.I can’t see anyway there won’t be many civil or criminal law suits in this.As the man said “follow the money"and give some hard time to these people responsible.They have some involved in this that need to get a good view of their un-used jail in Prichard.

I personally am sick of hearing the term “UNCONSTITUTIONAL”, this word is thrown around way to much now days. Everything now days has become unconstitutional.

How do they say it?  Somebody has got to grow some…big ones and start making examples out of the ones responsible for this.  Not just these crimes but the THUGS and druggies too.  I know the prisons are full but surely there is someone smart enough to figure out somewhere to put these thieves and law breakers and make them responsible for what they have done to law abiding citizens.  Don’t just “slap them on the wrist” and let them go.  DON’T LET IT CONTINUE!!!

Prichard has got to be kidding? Unconstitutional? The city workers need to walk out NOW! You are scabs if you don’t. Do you think you will get any benefits when your time comes?

ALL OF THEM NEED TO BE STONED! Can you tell their response infuriates me? UNCONSTITUTIONAL?

News five could help us out and print the Mayor’s and City Council member’s home addresses. Retirees need to camp out on their streets and make some noise!

i am not as concerned about feeddie mac as i am about the banks and financial clearinghouses we bailed out under tarp. reddie mac was always desinged to be different. Yes i agree carl, people should be held accountable, but they areent. and now the banks are crying foul saying they need the huge payroll and bonuses to retain these same guys that ran teh institutions into the ground. same thing happened in fairhope, the cfo and ceo ran thomas hospital into the ground, then the time came to atone for thier sins and they both got promotions, and everyone in the community just acts like nothing happened.

At sometime we’ve got to hold people accountable for what happens and make them pay dearly to show future crooks of the financial world that they will be held responsible for their acts.I see where Freddie Mac is doleing out the Million dollar paychecks again and saying they don’t have to go by the TARP rules on pay and incentatives because they got their money($51 billion) directly from the tax payers and not through the TARP funds.Makes you want to stretch a few ropes don’t it? Or take everything they’ve got and put the dodos in the soup lines like they’ve put more than a few people there.

Ya’ll, why all the fuss?  Prichard’s ELECTED Officials have unveiled one of the most advanced, bold, and “out of the box” economic development plan ever devised…BINGO.  I hate it for all of the retirees that thought they had a pension but it was actually a PONZI scheme, just as Social Security is. When you pay out more money than you collect, it’s just a matter of time before the scheme collapses. Individuals in the private sector are demonized, arrested, charged, tried, convicted and sentenced for the same crimes, as they should be.  Why are these idiots excused with code words like “revenue shortfall”.  Duh, ya think?

morning carl. this is only the tip of the iceburg. rsa although steadfast in its position could face the same thing. as well as many other pensions out there. Eastern air lines, United air lines, UAW, many are on the verge of insolvency. where were all these government leaders that weere suppoed to be protecting us from the carl ichans of the free market capitolism world. (Which, coincidently didint work) look for it only to get worse, as more plans go under we are on the hook for. thats right. had we not nailed out the UAW we would have been on the hook for the retirememtn and health benefits of the 4 million plus retirees. one of the reasons we coudlnt let them go belly up. the business at all costs types screwed us again, as in savings and loan scandal, banking scandal,housing scandal,  every day business model. why caNt these people just do the right thing? why is everyone so corrupt? its all over the country, just seems more prevalant when someone is deregulating an insustry, like trucking, s&l, bannking. arent you glad they didint privatize social security.

I believe pension funds for county and city workers such as firemen and police and others should be handled by the county instead of the cities and hopefully giving cities such as Prichard less ability to raid the piggy bank of retirement funds or refusing to cough up the money to keep them viable.This trouble started long ago with Prichard and they tried hard to ignore the WHITE elephant sitting in the room with them.
