Alexander questions trial watcher

The scene at yesterday's Bessemer City Council planning session.

Councilwoman Louise Alexander was sitting in her usual seat and it wasn't until nearly four hours later that the subject of her recent trial was mentioned.

She brought it up herself. Alexander thought it was strange that someone from the city's Community Development Department sat in the courtroom every day.

Alexander wanted to know if that person was being paid by taxpayers.

Mayor Ed May said he didn't know anything about it but would look into it.
