It's too bad Huntsville City Councilman Richard Showers wasn't immediately available for comment before the Huntsville Times started lighting torches and getting the ropes, I mean, before they ran with their Huntsville City Councilman Richard Showers allowed daughter to gas up at city fuel terminal after tornado, story.
But nooo, they had to join the lynch mob and try and discredit the good Councilman whose only crime is being a devoted and involved father instead of the stereotypical lazy, baby making, absentee father. Black fathers taking up for their daughters is *cough cough* frowned upon in Huntsville.
According to Councilman Showers, the alleged facts are inundated with misrepresentations and false statements. As to the allegations in question, his daughter had an emergency and did what any daughter would do and called her Dad for help. Councilman Showers did what any good father would do and helped his daughter. You can read the full account in the May 18, 2011, issue of Speaking Out News. I discovered today you can't purchase Speaking Out News at Newsstands, nor is there an updated online version. The office is located at 115 Wholesale Ave NE, Huntsville, AL 35811.
Councilman Showers denies he apologized profusely as stated in City Attorney Peter Joffrion's letter to the Ethics Committee.
Want some more irony? We know more about Richard Showers daughter getting less than 10 dollars worth of gas the day after the Tornadoes than we know about the wrecker contract and the accusations of unethical conduct by the owner. Why is that? Never mind. We know why.
It's easier to accuse Councilman Showers of unethical conduct than investigate the real unethical conduct.
If it can happen to a sitting member of the City Council it can and will happen to you too.
So, Councilman Showers, when are you going to file an ethics violation complaint?

Want some irony? In Thursday night’s city council meeting, the city was poised to award a contract for wrecker services to a local company. Showers objected, accused the company owner of unethical conduct, and tried to get the council to award the contract to a company in his district that had submitted a higher bid.City Attorney Peter Joffrion reported the April 28 incident to the Alabama Ethics Commission on Friday. The Times obtained a copy of the two-page letter through an open records request.

There is an old saying:
"Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not coming after you."
Over and over again, the locals argue, "Its not racism." Over and over. We need to discuss, expose, dig deep, question. Not hide, excuse, cover up, obfuscate, and deny. On this issue, both the left and the right fail to acknowledge because 'things are better now'?
Keep shining a light, Redeye.
"things are better now'?
Who knew?
