Anyone want to bet that he's a Republican?

This guy is a world-class douchebag. His goal appears to be to depopulate the city and turn it over to stripminers. He's obviously answering to higher and RICHER powers.

It's a depressed old town that began its decline half a century ago when its textile mill closed. It suffered worse when U.S. 78 pulled commerce to other parts of Walker County. People drifted away.

Some thought all that was about to change. They saw the building of Corridor X, or Interstate 22, as a chance for salvation. They developed a plan to revitalize and capitalize, to use the interstate as a tool to turn the town into a bedroom community like Calera or Chelsea.

But Scott has not been a champion of those plans. He has, though, supported efforts to allow two big strip mines on the outskirts of town, near the two Cordova exits of I-22.

As one Cordova native put it, "I've never seen a community strip mine itself back to prosperity."
