Councilmen William Carroll, Cory Penn, and Council President C.J. Small released a statement about why they abstained.
“Council President Small, councilmembers Carroll, and Penn dissent on agenda items pertaining to the city of Mobile’s sale of Ladd-Peebles stadium to the board of school commissioners of Mobile County in its present form.
People who attended and watched Wednesday’s meeting are still trying to make sense of it. And even after reading the statement, they don’t understand why it happened. “Had they taken that approach in the initial beginning, we probably wouldn’t be here today. But it is good to see that after four long hard weeks of protesting and petitioning to our elected representatives, they actually heard,” Tim Hollis said.
