Kind of a long article so I don't feel like cutting & pasting, but damn if this isn't some of the shadiest shit I've ever seen.
Basically he set up this fund "Computers For Kids", but has stolen money from the account for the following:
Quote
Documents filed in the Jefferson County lawsuit against Katopodis show nonprofit programs managing Langford's first computer charity paid:

$30,000 to Marc Anthony Donais, also known as Ryan Idol, a star in gay adult films.

$28,000 in cash to Katopodis through checks and automatic teller withdrawals, including withdrawals at casinos.

$12,000 a year in rent for office space to a group run by Katopodis, even though Katopodis was not charged rent for the building.

As much as $10,000 to Langford, which he said went to a private charity he controlled.

Thousands of dollars to pay personal credit cards, phone bills and expenses, including Jim Burke Auto, Triumph Auto, Highlands restaurant, and airfare and hotels "to various places such as British Columbia" - all expenses that the lawsuit states "likely did not benefit" the computer charity".
Can we finally get this guy the fuck out of office now?

Nope, this guarantees the guy wins reelection in a landslide.

The city of Birmingham gets what it deserves for electing this piece of trash into public office.  Glad I live in Hoover, where we have a Mayor that can pay his bills.

Yeah, and I live in Irondale. So I have no power to vote against this dipshit.
But the city of Birmingham being mismanaged like this is bad for all surrounding cities.
