Vestavia Hills

So they've joined a lawsuit with Tuscaloosa to kind of get this changed.

As governor, uh, where do you stand on people purchasing things outside of the state where the taxes are taken, but then it's distributed in a big pot? For instance, if I buy something and I live in Hoover or Vestavia or Mountain Brook or Gardendale, that tax money could be going to Mobile or-

Oh, yeah

...

What do you see in this one at Thompson Real Stadium?

Yeah, this rivalry, if you know anything about the rivalry, Hoover and Vestavia Hills, they go way back 50-plus years.

The two communities, they don't necessarily see eye to eye on a lot of things.

This rivalry this year started way back in the springtime when the region schedules were set.

So it's, It's been a tough go for Hoover.

I mean, it doesn't get any easier either.

This Vestavia Hills team is coming in.

They've been playing really, really well.

But wait a minute.

If there's more of that purchase happening in, let's say, Hoover or Jefferson County or Vestavia, shouldn't those cities reap the benefits on that? So we'll get his thoughts on that coming up as well.

Uh, also, uh, don't forget, as this hurricane continues to change and then we have updates, we're gonna be checking with Mickey Ferguson from the Fox 6 Weather Center here in just a bit as well for the update on the potential impact not only on our coast, but also in our region here in central and northern Alabama, from Tuscaloosa up to Birmingham, Gadsden, and, uh, into Huntsville.

And also Bryant-Denny Stadium Saturday night.

So they've joined a lawsuit with Tuscaloosa to kind of get this changed.

As governor Uh, where do you stand on people purchasing things outside of the state where the taxes are taken, but then it's distributed in a big pot.

For instance, if I buy something and I live in Hoover or Vestavia or Mountain Brook or Gardendale, that tax money could be going to Mobile or-

Oh, yeah

Thanks for, uh, hopping on.

And, uh, one of the reasons I wanted to ask you on, and I, I know talking to a lot of consultants, they're really, uh, especially down where, where you are, Homewood, Vestavia, Mountain Brook, Hoover, um, it's, it's not gonna be the layup it typically is in some of these legislative seats.

And there's just the headwinds of national politics and sort of the Doug Jones, um, whatever you want to call it.

Uh, I don't think he's gonna be governor, but there's a machinery there that's just got... generating some enthusiasm.

Th- is there gonna be enough ump on the Democrat side that these guys who are, you know, th- these people who virtue signal with their Doug Jones signs, they go ahead and sh- hit straight D, and that's gonna d- uh, doom a lot of, uh, well, you know, kind of solid incumbents.

You know, I, I know these districts.

I, I'm in Vestavia and Hoover almost every single day and in North Shelby County.

Uh, these are folks that care about their families, they care about public safety, they care about what's going on in their state.

But all of a sudden, Sherry's sending all these just – you can't even believe what you're seeing, the beauty of this world, okay? And beautiful places and all of a sudden – out of nowhere with no warning, which made it great.

Brody sends a picture of the Econo Lodge in Vestavia where he lives.

He goes, yep, I've seen some pretty cool things ourselves.

Yeah, that's funny.

I said three overtimes.

Huntsville 56, Hazel Green 28, James Clemens 38, Buckhorn 28, Mary Montgomery 17, Baker 10, Prattville over Spain Park 35-28, Sparkman 35, Bob Jones 17, Thompson 31, Hoover 14, and Vestavia Hills 52, Tuscaloosa County 7.

In class 5A- A.H. Parker, 56; Huffman, 14.

Arab, 28; Fort Payne, 26.

Spartanburg 35, Bob Jones 17.

Thompson 31, Hoover 14.

Vestavia Hills 52, Tuscaloosa County 7.

We'll move to 5A.

I mean, the Spain Park team, they hung tough with Thompson for a half before it kind of got away from them in the second half.

And then two weeks ago against Vestavia Hills, Spain Park just, they did not look good at all.

And for whatever reason, I mean, I was kind of, you know, counting on Spain Park Vestavia to be a, yeah, I mean, I was, I was expecting that to be a really good game and Vestavia got up on them early and it was, it was never a ball game.

And so this is a good opportunity for Spain Park to come off the off week and to, you know, kind of get back at it against one of the top teams in the region.
