A changing of the guard today as Carole Smitherman held a press conference on her first day of what may be a very short stint at the helm of the good ship Birmingham.
I listened to Temporary Mayor Smitherman's very somber press conference on the radio in the car this morning. I came away with the impression that she had prayed long and thought hard about her remarks. I believe she did a rather remarkable job in setting the tone of what will be the ardent task of unifying the city.
Smitherman assured us that she will not make drastic changes in her first few days. She will keep on Chief of Staff Deborah Vance Bowie and Chief of Operations Chris Hartsell. She also indicated she would serve dual roles: mayor and city councilor for her district. She did say reviewing city finances with perhaps an audit would be her highest priority.
