May plans to control City Council


Bessemer Mayor Ed May is planning on tightening his grip on city hall through an organized attempt to take over the City Council.

Final day to qualify to run in the August election is April 2.

May's eldest son, Ed May II, is running the campaign to fill six of the seven council seats.

He is running for Dorothy Davidson's District 1 seat. She is running for mayor.

The other candidates in the May council stable have not been announced yet.

The thought of Ed May controlling the council would make me want to move out of town. Scary, scary, scary!
