Sheila Smoot campaign imageBirmingham, AL-based political blog The Progressive Electorate plans to interview congressional candidate (and current Jefferson County Commissioner) Sheila Smoot this evening beginning at 8 p.m. on Daily Kos.

They’ve already posted three questions they plan to ask during the chat and they’re asking for folks to consider submitting others to the thread (thinking it means you may be able to submit your questions as comments to the post announcing tonight’s discussion too).

JeffCo county manager issues moves to forefront

Posted on January 26, 2009 | Leave a comment

One issue that appears to be high on the priority list for Jefferson County delegation of the Alabama State Legislature as the new session fast approaches is the installation of a county manager to help deal with, well, you know. Both sides appear to be taking the pulse of the community to see what they think.

There is currently a rally planned for tomorrow (Tuesday) morning at 9 a.m. by the League of Women Voters of Greater Birmingham to show support for the bi-partisan bill being introduced by Rep. Paul DeMarco. This evening (Monday) JeffCo Commissioner Sheila Smoot and Team Seven plan to hold “an important town meeting” to deal with several issues facing the county, including the idea of a county manager, the sewer debt and the recent occupational tax ruling.

Looks like it’s going to be an interesting ride this session.
