I was skeptical of Stimpson at first, but the difference in the city after 4 years is palpable compared to the dark days (as I now see them) under Sam "Scam" Jones. I'm proud that I live in a city where both black and white people co-exist and seek a future that is brighter for us all. 

We are a coastal city and that brings huge issues concerning infrastructure in downtown areas prone to flooding. I think we have a lot of work to do concerning our infrastructure. We need to make the city more bike friendly to help reduce obesity. I'm much more confident under Stimpson that the city won't go bankrupt or burden the state financially (looking at you Birmingham) trying to resolve these issues. 

Mobile has one of the top sales taxes in the country, Democrats like Jones and his cohorts pushed it and promised us it would last for a year. As always there were arguments from the government about why it should be continued, and it was. At least now it seems to be producing actual results.
