Stuck on Stupid

Just another symptom of the wide ranging muni-bond scandal, a qucik reminder of what he is accused of:

Mayor Larry Langford is:

• Is facing 101 counts on corruption and bribery charges
• The man who bankrupted Jefferson County Alabama
• Helped increase fees on middle and working class people
• The man who did it for designer suits and rolex watches.
• Mayor Langford's Culture of Corruption.
• Who helped J.P Morgan Chase and other Financial Groups overcharge by 100 million in fees Jefferson County.
• The same Mayor who has saddled his constituents with a billion dollar debt.

The Mayor will ask the City Council to pass a resolution allowing city department heads to sign off on federal documents

Birmingham Mayor Larry Langford no longer has the authority to sign federal grant applications or enter into agreements that involve federal money as a result of his indictment on bribery and conspiracy charges.

Langford's name was placed on the federal government's Excluded Parties List -- a list of people and organizations barred from conducting business with federal agencies -- by the Environmental Protection Agency in March. Langford received a notice of the action in late February.Langford said Friday that the notice went to his home in Fairfield, not to City Hall or his downtown apartment.

Langford, along with Montgomery investment banker Bill Blount and lobbyist Al LaPierre, are named in a 101-count federal indictment charging them with conspiracy and bribery. All three men, who deny wrongdoing, are scheduled for trial Aug. 31.Blount, his firm Blount Parrish & Co., and LaPierre also were placed on the Excluded Parties List.
