Times' story about Hammond paying someone off. Strange writing. Story never mentions who the attorneys are for the city or the plaintiff. The city settles a lawsuit but confidentiality agreements keep the amount secret? Ha! When the SBA asks what that money went for, will McDermott ignore them? From the story...

"Warner claimed that while being arrested and taken to Hammond City Jail, he was hit in the head by an unnamed person who also ripped a pierced earring from his head.
He said an officer and a city employee deprived his rights because they are white and he is black, court documents state."

His earring ripped from his head? Weird stuff.

More than five years ago, Tom McDermott gushed about an impending hospital coming to Robertsdale, but today the wrecking ball is pending. Must have been around an election season(seems it always is), but the plan was for a 100 million dollar investment there. Now we get a 1 million dollar bill demo bill. Not quite like advertised. Published reports say the doctors who own the property have more than six million dollars invested in the property already. So why aren't they paying the ONE MILLION DOLLAR DEMO BILL? Who's cashing in on that payday? Who is in the wings to take that property for a song and the taxpayers for a dance?
