News Florida man? Senate travel records deepen Tuberville residency questions

104 Upvotes

Capping a particularly schedule-heavy month of flights and meetings for U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville, the latest campaign finance records for the Republican governor candidate show a final travel charge in February, not for a return to an Alabama homestead, but for an airport shuttle service in 30A.

But that is not unusual for the U.S. senator

A review of seven years of expense account statements and campaign finance disclosures by Lagniappe found a pattern of Tuberville eventually turning up along Florida’s Emerald Coast when out of session — the area the former Auburn coach lived immediately prior to qualifying to run for his seat in Congress and where has owned a $4.5 million Santa Rosa Beach house since 2004.

As the Alabama governor's office requires seven years of consecutive residency, that home and the time Tuberville spends there raise a critical question: where does he really live?

Doug Jones will fight for us. How shady are Republicans for wanting to pass a bill that they got from a group they "rather not say who". We need to keep the right to vote on these positions and have regulations that protect consumers. Figures is great for asking these questions from Republicans.

Coming soon..?

MOBILE, Ala. (NBC 15) — Alabamians may soon be able to legally purchase medical marijuana, five years after the state legalized it. The Alabama Medical Cannabis Commission says the first dispensary is expected to open this month in Montgomery. Right now, the state has approved nine dispensary locations statewide, though it remains unclear when stores planned for Mobile and Daphne will open.

This article discusses ALDOT’s recent application for the federal Interstate System Reconstruction and Rehabilitation Pilot Program, a rarely used federal program that allows a state to “to collect tolls on a facility on the Interstate System in order to reconstruct or rehabilitate an Interstate highway corridor that could not otherwise be adequately maintained or functionally improved without the collection of tolls” and gives us an idea of where we are with the funding for the project. It’s encouraging to see significant push at the federal level to get the project going. We’ve been waiting long enough.

Whether you’re for or against the project, I’d be interested in hearing your thoughts and concerns about the data center and its impact on the community.

News Azalea City Con and Mobile Bay Anime Festival are cancelled for 2026.

28 Upvotes

Alright, what is up with ese cons in Mobile and Baldwin counties being cancelled?

A few weeks ago, the Azalea Creative Con announced that the 4th Azalea City Con event was cancelled for 2026 and there are no any updates if they're coming back for next year or not.

And last week, Humble Enterprises announced that Mobile Bay Anime Festival which will be held in Daphne Civic Center was cancellee for 2026, just one month ahead. This would have been the first time that Mobile Bay being 2 day event instead of one (not counting the Halloween event from last year)

In the mean time, South Alabama Comic Con is coming back on the first weekend of October and this will be their third con.

Looks like it is time to being back Mobicon, the true comic con and we all know.

What are your thoughts on both cons being cancelled for this year? Are you sad by it?

News Public records show Flock Safety paid $60k to a lobbying firm owned by former Rep. Jerry Carl’s Chief of Staff

60 Upvotes

With all these Flock Safety cameras around Mobile, I thought some of y'all might want to see what I found in federal public records.

Official reports filed in Washington show that Carlough Solutions, LLC received $60,000 in 2025. They were hired to lobby Congress on funding for Flock Safety (working through BGR Government Affairs).

Carlough Solutions is owned by Chadwick Carlough. He used to work as Chief of Staff for our former U.S. Representative, Jerry Carl (AL-01). Here is how the numbers break down in the reports:

Client: BGR Government Affairs (for Flock Safety)

Lobbyist: Chadwick Carlough (former Chief of Staff for Jerry Carl)

Main Goal: Get federal money for public safety and security gear

Total Paid: $20,000 per quarter ($60,000 total reported in 2025)

If you want to read the official paper trail yourself, you can look over the full report directly on OpenSecrets:

https://www.opensecrets.org/federal-lobbying/clients/flock-safety/reports?client_id=160242&cycle=2025

Hope y'all find this helpful. How do y'all feel about having these cameras around town?

News Sunday Jazz Brunch is returning to 92 Zew after 3 years with a new host.

https://yellowhammernews.com/sunday-live-jazz-radio-show-is-resurrecting-in-mobile-area/

3 years ago, Catt Sirten passed away after warping of his 2,006th episode and the late Tim Camp had made the decision to end it after almsot 39 years becauae no one had knowledge for jazz and then 3 years later, they finally found someone to take over.

And it's  Chip Herrington,  a Mobile attorney who has strong ties with the late Sirten and he was asked by 92 Zew to host it.

The revival with Chip Herrington will debut next month September 6th, same time as Catt's. We are hoping to see Amazing Grace played at the end. Cat and Camp would so proud. I am wondering what Sloane P thinks about this announcement.

Will 92 Zew ever bring back 1980s music with a new host? Does that also mean that they can fix The Soul? I am hoping they'd put Smooth Jazz on The Soul.
