BEATDOWN

Bessemer's City Council tonight took Mayor Ed May to task for months of frustration and basically gave him a beatdown.

During the nearly three-hour meeting the council complained not having access to City Hall, financial records and conditions are the city animal shelter.

May tried to defend himself but the council wasn't having any of it.

The council many times was cheered by a capacity audience that didn't believe anything the mayor said.

Council President Earl Cochran said tonight was just the beginning of many more beatdowns the unpopular mayor can expect to get between now and next August's city elections.
