Alabama county mulls bankruptcy; could be largest failure in history

THE GOVERNMENT BETTER NOT ALLOW A CHAPTER 7 !

They "City Government" should be required to pay back all funds. Same as any citizen... "No exception"

No exception for "CORPORACRACY"...

Maybe instead of trying to be so G.D. politically correct these municipalities should concentrate on running their governments. Stop giving the liberals and the POS ACLU so much leaway, stop giving into the minorities and whining politicians and actually produce more than they consume. The whole country is not far behind.

Ask not for whom the bell tolls.

I live in Jefferson County and am blown away by the past and current members of the Jefferson County Commission that has put this county into this situation. This problem is not a new development, but rather an extension of a former commision and its main member, the current mayor of Birmingham, Larry Langford, and his reckless, consistent, use of the public's monies to fund his far- out dream projects. The current problem is due to the ridiculous sewer system that was built, incorrectly, by a joke of a contractor, and had to be rebuilt. Now, the current head of the commision has lived with Alice in Wonderland, and to this day has not accepted the reality of the situation. The majority of these commisioners have been derelict in their duties and, prayfully, will be voted out when its their time. Two very outspoken commisioners have tried to stop the bleeding, but were attacked for their views from the begginning. Thank God for my septic tank, but I will still be part of the eventual bailout, HIGHER COUNTY TAXES.

How funny is it that one of the advertising on this article is a Pay-Day loan offer. The quickest way to being bankrupt.

The Church; the right people who hold the large amount of income should gather in unity and bail out each county, and clean up those sits that aren't doing their jobs. We the people need to stand in unity, Joseph was called for a time like this, where are the Joseph's....

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN CORPORATE AMERICA OWNS THE GOP LOCK STOCK AND BARREL. PEOPLE SEEM TO NOT BE AWARE THAT 66% OF COMPANIES WHO SUPPORT THE GOP DON'T PAY TAXES....! CORPORATE WELFARE IS EATING UP MIDDLE AND LOW INCOME FAMILIES MONEY.

Well The politician should have never gotten rid of Mare Island in Vallejo.

If McCain(Bush lite) gets in the white house America will have to do the same thing

I am from Jefferson County and I find it sad and disturbing that Jefferson county
cannot pay their bills. I pay higher taxes and yet they have no money. Where has the money all gone? Too many higher ups and not enough real workers, They need to clean house in the Mayor's office and teh City Council needs restructuring.

The city of Vallejo is NOT a suburb of San Francisco like the story under the photos state. There is a huge bay of water between SF and Vallejo. It appears that many media writers erroneously likes to consider any area of the bay area as a suburb of San Francisco which is far from the truth. Each area has different lifestyles and opportunities.

Get rid of all the deadbeats in city government,end welfare handout, end 20 years and a soft fat pension, run lawyers out of the county, hang trouble makers that won't work in town square. Shut down the Universities thats turning out dummies that don't know how to work. You just can't feed AH's that produces nothing but an appetite.

Name on corperation that does not pay taxes??? Dunbass. These same corperation supply JOBS....... Oh wait libral this work is a four letter word!!!

THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR A GOVERNMENT TO GO BANKRUPT. THE GOVERNMENT IS NOT A FREEBEE AGENCY. CONTROL OF YOUR AGENCIES AND PERMITS ARE NECESSARY. YOU CAN'T HAVE A SCHOOL ON EVERY CORNER OR A FIREHOUSE OR POLICE STATION. GET YOUR JUDICIAL SYSTEM STRAIGHTEN OUT AND STOP THE LIBERAL COURT SYSTEM. GET SERIOUS ABOUT YOUR DRUNK DRIVERS AND YOUR THIEVES. START LOOKING AT CHINA AND STOP THE GIVE AWAY LIVERAL IDEAS THAT THE DEMOCRATES ARE SO POPULAR FOR. REMEMBER, DEMOCRACY IS STILL ON TRIAL WE CAN GO BACK TO A DICTATOR TYPE GOVERNMENT. WE ARE NOT FAR FROM LOOSING OUR FREEDOM NOW. LISTEN TO THE CONVENTION GIVEAWAYS THAT THE SPEACHES ARE TELLING ALL THE IDIOTS HOW TO CHANGE AMERICA. IF THE BLACKS KNOW HOW TO CHANGE AMERICA FOR THE BETTER WHY HAVEN'T THEY DONE SO WITH AFRICA. THEY ARE STILL DODGEING THE LIONS.

Do you like OBAMA will spend less? His platform is to raise taxes and spend more....

Counties and cities going belly up ? Really not much of a surprise there. I would hope though that they are given the same treatment in their filing as our beloved congress has seen fit to put on the little individual filer. Seems like our congress has found a way to make the little man pay through the nose while the banks and special interest groups get themselves a much freeer ride.
Me thinks there is something really foul here, and I believe it is again those in congress who seem to have forgotten just who it is they work for.
Time to send many of them home, and a good start would be old Nancy Pelosi and that fish face Harry Ried.

I'm surprised that the whole state of Michigan is not filing for bankruptcy. michigan is the only state with unemployment going up and wages going down; thanks to the most liberal government ever that does not know how to lead.

We should base the credit rating score on anyone who aspires to a governmental office; because what is born in the credit history genes will out in the flesh.

Hmm... Who runs this county? I suspect those similar to those that ran the failed school system in that county. Politics is not for everyone.

"ZAC BISSONNETTE"
while you are in school do study geography,economic and politic,by doing so you will learn that Vllejo problems started when the US Navy skipped town,the only employer is the local bar,then a bunch of overpaid public Employee,finally by studying geography you will learn that Vallejo has as much relation with San Francisco as New York has with New Jersey,it also will help you not make as ASS of yourself , joel
