Al Herbert has served as the right hand man for Mayor Bernard Kincaid for all of his eight years in office. Yesterday, it was revealed that if Kincaid is elected to serve for a third term, he will not be by his side. Herbert’s departure was announced during yesterday’s weekly Birmingham City Council meeting. He will begin working at UAB as their executive director of supplier diversity effective October 15.

Our current poll question asks you if Herbert’s departure means anything in terms of the mayor’s (as of yet unannounced) chances of reelection.
