Sounds about right.
Incumbent Montgomery Mayor Bobby Bright faces three challengers in Tuesday’s election in the capital city.
In follow-up, the reader writes, “If Bright wants to run for Congress (Everett) in 2010, which many think he does, he’ll need to post strong numbers in his re-election. I think that’s why Sparks is helping out.”

PRESS ADVISORY
Sparks & Bright to Hold Press Conference on Biodiesel Production Partnership
MONTGOMERY – Commissioner Ron Sparks and Montgomery Mayor Bobby Bright will hold a press conference tomorrow, August 24th at 11:00am at the Alabama Department of Agriculture & Industries located at 1445 Federal Drive, Montgomery. The press conference will be held to announce the partnership of the Department of Agriculture & Industries and the City of Montgomery to produce biodiesel from recycled cooking oils to be used in Department and city vehicles.
Vote Simmons.
Bright has failed to do anything but make the rich richer and the West Side worse.
Re-elect the progressive Mayor who has done so much for our city after the
dark years of Emory Folmar.
Bachelor’s, Master’s and law degree trumps high school diploma. Simmons offers
nothing but negativity towards Bright.
Heart of our city is the people who need protection not OLD BUILDINGS.
There has been no progress, just expenditures, and population numbers have dipped and barley recovered if at all.
OldCloverdale. I clicked on your name and it took me immediately to the Bright for Mayor Website. Are you on City Taxpayer time posting on forums? It is well known in Montgomery that Bright is an idiot thief. I hope you are not in that recipe.
Just like it did four years ago, the numbers are breaking heavy for Bright late. Expect him to top55 percent on Tuesday
Click again, Cloyd. And new tomorrow, if you don’t see progress in Montgomery you must not have noticed Riverwalk Stadium (home of the Biscuits), the Riverwall itself, the Amphitheatre, the new downtown rondabout & the opening up of Court Street…
Sorry about the typos above — Riverwall should be Riverwalk and rondabout should be roundabout.
