House Bill 156 became law February 2024, which made any candidate in a campaign, not required to file a campaign committee or file monthly or weekly reports, if the campaign didn’t raise or spend 1000.00 during an election. RSN has taken the time to see which school board and local government candidates in Dothan, has filed a campaign committee and has filed their required campaign finance reports. With the municipal elections 22 days away 15 candidates have no election committee formed or no financial reports whatsoever in the system. Either they have met the $1000 received or spent threshold and are not in compliance with FCPA, or even more disturbing, they haven’t spent or received a $1000 during their almost two months of campaigning. You can spend 1000.00 on a 100 yard signs for reference. Three additional candidates have committees formed but are delinquent on campaign finance reports. The Fair Campaign Practices Act ensures a fair election, that all candidate has access to what another candidate is spending, also what that candidate is receiving. Disclaimer if these candidates didn’t spend or receive under a $1000, they are in compliance. They have no shot in this election, but they are in compliance.

COTTONWOOD: 4:41 PM. The water in Cottonwood was out today, however, please note it WAS NOT the fault of the City of Cottonwood.
Private contractors, not for the City of Cottonwood, were laying fiber lines and accidentally struck water lines for the City of Cottonwood.
At 100 degree temperature, Cottonwood Mayor Van Granger along with the City of Cottonwood Water Department grabbed shovels, rolled their sleeves up, and worked on their Saturday getting water going.
Folks, that does not fall under the duties of Mayor. But Van Granger thinks a lot of Cottonwood and those that are served by Cottonwood water.
So when you go to the polls and vote for Mayor of Cottonwood, remember Van Granger. The purpose of this article is not to try and support him, it is because I was getting phone calls about the water. Then I found out the Mayor had a shovel in his hand working side by side with the water department to get the water going, well, it gave me greater respect for him.
Van Granger went above and beyond the call of duty at 100 degrees.
