Lawsuit Challenges Alabama Law Reshaping Central Alabama Water Board, Seeks to Restore Council Control

Lawsuit Challenges Alabama Law Reshaping Central Alabama Water Board, Seeks to Restore Council Control

A Birmingham resident, Eric Hall, has filed a federal lawsuit against Alabama's attorney general, secretary of state, and Central Alabama Water (CAW), challenging Act No. 2025-297. This law, signed by Governor Kay Ivey in May 2025, restructured the utility's board from a city council-appointed body to a seven-seat board with appointments from the mayor, lieutenant governor, governor, city council, and three county governments. Hall's lawsuit argues that this change illegally removed control of the water utility from Birmingham's elected leaders, as the utility's original charter only permits the city council to appoint board members. The lawsuit also contends that a June 24, 2025, board vote to rename the utility to 'Central Alabama Water' and remove charter language guaranteeing Birmingham's control was illegal because the Birmingham City Council did not separately approve it, as required by state law. This is the second lawsuit making similar claims this year, following a previously dismissed case.

South Portland Police Department Faces Staffing Shortages Amid Declining Applications

South Portland Police Department Faces Staffing Shortages Amid Declining Applications

The South Portland Police Department is experiencing significant staffing challenges, struggling to fill open positions despite an ongoing application process. Deputy Chief Kevin Gerrish noted a stark contrast to the early 2000s, when hundreds of applicants would vie for a single opening. Since 2020, the department has received only 292 applications in total, a substantial drop from previous decades. The department currently has 52 officers but is budgeted for 57. Officers attribute this decline to several factors, including the impact of the pandemic, a perceived decrease in public enthusiasm for jobs involving public interaction, and a generational shift where younger individuals are seen as less service-oriented. The rigorous hiring process, which includes multiple interviews, psychological, medical, and physical exams, and a polygraph, further narrows the pool; out of 292 applicants since 2020, only 37 have been hired. Many applicants fail to complete the extensive 36-page application packet, with abou...
