Times Director: Efficiency Justifies ...
Our new Community News Director at the Huntsville Times, Anthony Cook, has great news for criminals everywhere. Suddenly if you claim that you’re being “efficient,” breaking the law does not matter.

Honoring My Girl
On Thursday night, I had planned to speak to the Board of Education during the Citizen Comments section at the end of the meeting. However, due to inclement weather, the meeting was adjourned before I was offered the opportunity to speak.
