Agreed. However, it's nice to know we won't be seeing those commercials anymore. I know the leaked docs showed it running through next week. We haven't seen anything since BGV leaked those documents and then vanished. RIP Viking

Who knows: I never thought BGV was still around, so we may yet see him again...

I thought he was banished to Latin America like other former mascots

Send some divers to Smith Lake...

And by the way, Archibald's article also appeared in the Sunday edition of the Birmingham News, I suspect for maximum exposure.

Unfortunately, this probably means that they just reallocated those funds to a little less public activity - a full out lobbying effort in Montgomery.

Probably, but it think that it will be apparent to the legislators that they are using public money to pay the lobbyists. You can bet they don't have any volunteers taking up their cause.

Wait... Aren't Bryant Bank employees volunteers, too?

Karen Brooks won't respond to my emails about this. I write her every day asking why she still hasn't responded.

You, as a supporter of UAB, are beneath her, dear sir. Know your place and like it.

Probably worse if you were on top of her.

That is apparently what they mean by "improved communication". I will talk. You will listen. That is, when I deign to talk.
