Where are you Troy King? The democratic Mobile County D A offfice not going to do any thing about it. The federal judge ruled that the city must pay into the retirement fund and make it solvent but has not followed up on it to make make sure that they did. Why is every body afraid of Prichard? Could it be politics?

Hmmm…Interesting pattern. There always seems to be an issue or problem in Prichard. Murders in Prichard, robberies in Prichard, prostitution in Prichard, drugs in Prichard, corruption in Prichard, water and sewer issues in Prichard, previous bankruptcy in Prichard, failure to pay pensioners in Prichard, and now, bankruptcy in Prichard…again. What seems to be the root cause of so many problems here? This area is obviously only getting worse. It is regressing, not progressing. Perhaps something drastic needs to be done before Prichard becomes completely unsalvageable. Were there no audits of the city leaders while all of this was going on in regards to pension funds? Was there no ethics committee to oversee was what blatantly obvious? Time and time again Prichard has proven itself incapable of managing itself, much less growing itself in a positive manner. Yet, each time they seem to pull an “Ace in the Hole” and slither out of all responsiblity and consequence. This area continues to cast a bad shadow onto the surrounding communities, and I fear that it will only become worse as time goes forward. Bottom line is that the pensioners money went somewhere. There has to be a paper trail and I would be curious to see where (or to whom) it leads to…not that anyone would do anything about it. Once again, it would become a media circus and everyone would look the other way. The worst part is that these retired individuals will be the ones to suffer.

Are currently active employees being paid?

Why didn’t Prichard take advantage of RSA? Too much distance between the cash and greedy fingers?

Carl i sure hope noone would be that stupid(as to be paying in) I hope the mayor and financil people in Prichard get what is coming to them!!!!!!!!!!

There are already federal law suits in the works regarding this case,but the proper thing would have been to keep an eye on the account by those who hoped to count on this money for retirement.Depending on the type of retirement plan this one is,there are many things that can still be done.I’m entirely on the workers side and hope they get all that’s due them and maybe they will own Prichard before it’s over.It’s gonna be an uphill battle fighting our own legislature in Montgomery on these bankruptcy laws and the Feds but they have no other choice if they want to retrieve some of their funds.Wonder if they are still taking money from their workers for the retirement fund?

Well…thank goodness my family is not a victim in this or I would be upset, I guess!  It just makes me so mad to see this happen to those folks and others.  My husband and I joked the other day about how ones used to “joke” about not wanting a woman “pmsing” to be in charge.  Well…by golly…maybe it’s about time they let just that happen.  Turn a good ole’ female with hormone problems loose on some of these CROOKS and let her go at them.  Then see if any of them want to go before her again. lol [jmo]

Being a victim of bankruptcy laws, I truly sympathize with these many pensioners.

I just deleted my long personal heart-wrenching rant, as even after all these years it still hurts.

The ultimate blame for it was ... the state legislature ... as they wrote the current bankruptcy laws - and we are otherwise SOL.

that darn taloney girl is busy as all get out. the thomas trial, this, the da story. she probably has to book time in advance to relieve herself.

i agree completely lala but they stood by and watched carl ichan do it in the name of free market capitalism. the guilty get away with the cash and everyone else suffers.
