Louise Alexander bill on agenda

Councilwoman Louise Alexander's legal bill tops the agenda for Tuesday night's meeting of the Bessemer City Council.

Alexander claims the council must approve a $367,000 bill for her defense in her recent ethics trial where she was exonerated on charges of using her office for personal gain.

She has threatened to sue if the council doesn't vote to pay.

Also on the agenda will be another attempt to approve a $35 million budget for fiscal year 2010.
