Meeting in the Port City, the mayors of Alabama’s 10 most populous cities took a cruise near the Port of Mobile and discussed issues of mutual interest.
Mobile Mayor Sandy Stimpson, who concerned the first of these quarterly get-togethers in 2014, said the mayors are finalizing their 2023 legislative agenda.
Although the group has no specific proposals ready to roll out, the mayors said the topics are clear – improving public safety and creating jobs. Stimpson pointed to devices that make semi-automatic pistols into machine guns. The so-called Glock switches illegal under federal law, but not state law. Initially, the so-called Big 10 mayors were five – the leaders of Birmingham, Huntsville, Mobile, Montgomery and Tuscaloosa. It later expanded to include the 10 most populous cities. The group on Monday celebrated a victory is achieved last year with passage of Aniah’s Law, which gives judge broader discretion to deny bail. The voters approved it in November, and it already has been applied twice in Mobile.
“It’s very important to our community,” he said. “It’s important to our community that we can continue to have economic growth, and we can continue to have jobs coming into our area.”
