What is he doing?Rep. Joseph Mitchell a democrat from Mobile, AL and represents House District 103 in the State House of Representatives has proposed a bill in the Alabama House to ban lawyers from serving in the legislature. Oh my God! He said he knows it will not pass but wants to highlight what he called unfair efforts to single out educators. "These things being proposed are kind of ridiculous," said Mitchell, a former Mobile County school board member.
Should Rep. Mitchell find better bills to introduce in the State House than this? We look at our educational system in Mobile County that is facing budget crisis and shortages, a board that he use to seat on before being elected to the State House. We look at the crime that is on the rise in Mobile area and his community for which he live, so should he be proposing legislation to block lawyers from serving in the Legislature or should he be proposing solutions to help our local schools, crime and build a better Mobile.
Sometime I wonder about these so called Representatives and individuals who say they have the will of the people at heart. And they are not doing anything but lying to their constituents that they are doing this and that to get a vote when their seat comes up for re-election. Mitchell is one of the applicants for the presidency of Bishop State Community College in Mobile, but said that he would leave the Legislature if awarded a multi-year contract to head the school.
Rep. Mitchell was also an instructor at Bishop State at one point, but since the State School Board banned lawmakers from being employed at two-year colleges in Alabama, he may not have that position any more. But now he wants to become the president of Bishop State. It shows that if he was really representing House District 103 in the State Legislature, he wouldn’t be worrying about being the president of Bishop State Community College. My say on this is “Get something done for Mobile and District 103 before moving on to a greater task of educating our children.”
