[...] Matthews… Frank Matthews… Where have I heard that name before? Oh yeah! Frank Matthews was one of the idiots calling for Richard Scrushy Parkway to keep the name! Why? Well because he believes in Scrushy’s total innocence, regardless of Scrushy’s [...]

Frank Matthews was just appointed to a high office in Birmingham by the new mayor. And it’s no secret that Langford and Scrushy shared a close and questionable business relationship that’s still being investigated by the SEC and the IRS.

Hmmm. A $5/year increase to help keep my kids’ drinking water clean? Tell you what — I’ll pay mine and Frank’s too, if he’ll just shut up.

Amen, Kathy. Matthews has a lot of common/entrepeneurial sense–remember those Cahaba River ads a few years ago?

Recently he was out attacking the SWMMA increase (first in 10 years from $7 to $12/year for an agency that does its job well). And who opposes this? The same folks that want unbridled development around our drinking water and tax breaks to boot. His involvement is chronicled in a Birmingham Weekly story, http://www.birminghamweekly.com/archived/pages/20060316_cover%20story.php

Money and publicity — a frequent and toxic combination.

I think Matthews has proven that he has no common sense. What he does have is an insatiable appetite for publicity.

while watching the tube last night, i heard a quick blurb from the newspeople that they would be covering the “debate” over changing the name of the highway.

my wife and i just looked at each other and laughed. how could there possibly be a debate about it, we wondered?

so it turns out there was a debate. why? i still don’t know, though i’ll suggest that money often clouds common sense.
