Councilman Steven Hoyt, who is seeking a second term in Tuesday's election, touts his chairmanship of the council's economic development committee as an example of working to enhance opportunities citywide and within his district in particular. Hoyt said he wants continue to increase commercial and recreational opportunities in Five Points West. "So often we have to drive south or go out east to fund things we need with respect to quality of life." "We've been very progressive. One of the most significant things that we did is we sat down and did a strategic plan for the entire district," he said.
I have to give it to Hoyt; I love his leadership on the Birmingham City Council. He holds nothing back and always calls for open transparency on the council and its business. Not always do I agree with everything Hoyt does, but majority of the time he has my support.
The reason Arrington and Langford did not support Hoyt for a second term in this election coming up Tuesday, is simply because Hoyt doesn’t play, he is out spoken and undercover nasty politics and policy. Hoyt and Langford Birmingham current sitting indicted mayor often gets into heated debates of issues and policies. Langford wants a rubber stamp majority council to get his policies and agenda done. Well voters you should look at this seriously Arrington and Langford endorsed Gerri Robinson the only and second time challenger to Hoyt, both Arrington and Langford administrations were and are corrupt. Now they want to add to the game of special interest politics and not for the people and they pretend to be.
