RE: WBRC: Proposed downtown Birmingham stadium faces disputes...from John Rogers
How can anyone be sure what Rogers said ? The last time I heard him speak it was "Grumble, Grumble, Growl, Grsutsivhkele (SWAG as I couldn't really make it out), Grumble, uh, Grumble . And that was 10 years ago. I doubt he's gotten better.

My impression from the few times I saw TV clips is that the man was illiterate.

There is no way people understood him to say " neighborhood revitalization" without an interpreter.

UA System policy (and maybe state law) changed and he had to either give up his job or he couldn't run for the legislature anymore

If I understand the existing state ethics law, if your pay is from the state funds, it is a violation of that law to serve in any compensated elected state post. That was explained to me when I asked why working professional teachers never got to serve on school boards (state or local) or in the legislature. Only "former" teachers (like the present Governor) can serve.

The change only went into effect in the past 5 years or so. I'm almost positive it was only a UA System policy, not law, but I'm not 100% sure

No, that's a law. It's commonly referred to as the "Double Dipping Law." If you work for the state, be it a university, a state agency, school system, etc., you can't be a member of the legislature. You can find it at section 29-1-26, Code of Alabama.

Yeah, that is what got John Rogers out of UAB. It's relatively new (IE: why Rogers was at UAB in the first place). I don't think it's what BAMANBLAZERFAN was thinking, it only applies to the legislature as far as I know. UAB has a specific policy that employees must get explicit approval from the President and/or the Board of Trustees to run for any political office as well.
State law definitely doesn't preclude state employees from any political office. The Mayor of Montevallo is a professor at the University of Montevallo

The Mayor of any city is probably NOT paid - even partially - directly from state funds. Therefore the State Ethics Law doesn't apply. If members of any local BOE or the State BOE are paid from state funds, then working teachers are barred from those jobs under the present Ethics Law. BTW, When asked about student gifts to teachers (Xmas, end of year, etc.), the committee ruled that anything under $5 was permissible.
