[edit] Colony Mayor refuses to release records

"After an outburst at the Colony Town Council meeting last week, the town’s mayor is now refusing to turn over public records.

On Monday, The Times sent a formal public-records request to Colony Mayor Morris Fitts asking for documents related to financing new bathrooms at the town’s park, an issue that sparked controversy in last week’s meeting.

The newspaper asked to see a record of loan payments to the bank and the contract made with contractors to build new bathrooms, both of which are available for public inspection under Alabama’s open records law."
