Depending on the mayor, competent or otherwise, is dependency at its worst. A more important question is: What will each of you do to improve Birmingham this month, this year, this decade?

A capacity crowd of 400 people are expected. Andre, hope you can live blog it for the rest of us. For a true state of the region, wait until the Chamber’s event this Friday.

Until someone steps up and kicks this city's leadership in the ass (either to get them motivated or boot them to the street), then all we will continue to hear are the same empty promises and plans we have heard for years. I hate to say it but it appears we may be in for another year of no leadership in what has become "The City Where Dreams Go To Die"! How many times do we have to hear the same speech?

The city has been dealt a weak hand by modern history and seems to lack any sort of savvy or effectiveness in its leadership that might enable it to prosper. For the mayor to use this address to nitpick about statistics and to offer such weak or retrogressive initiatives as "Get Healthy Birmingham", reduced police training, reduced education funding, and basic litter removal as the way forward is distressing.

If you are voted by the people, please don't sing. Most people can't sing on American Idol and yet they are voted by the people. And to say the city is good.... If I worked just "good", I would not be were I am today. Please put a little more effort into the city and maybe good can become great. Peace, Love, and chicken grease!
