Election season open with reception tonight

March 6, 2003

Paul Marion Reagan, the outspoken Birmingham resident who likes to stand up in public and claim to represent YOU, is kicking off the election season tonight with a reception to which all Birmingham residents are invited.

Billed as a Celebrate Birmingham! party of "fellowship and fun," more than 200 residents are expected to attend and "meet with other friends of Birmingham."

The reception is tonight, Thursday, March 6, from 7-9 p.m. at the new Whistle Stop II in Adams Square, on the east side of Adams between Maple and Woodward.

Reagan is chairman of the Presidents Council of Homeowners Associations, a small group of citizens that claims to represent homeowners associations in Birmingham. In fact, only a small number of people are active in the Council, and many of their associations are only loosely organized.

Nonetheless, the Council wields power because its politics are closely aligned with a majority of the City Commission. Initiatives of the Council have included the Parks Bond Issue, the Ethics Code, the Tree Preservation Ordinance and the current effort to catalog "historic" homes in Birmingham.

Keep an eye on these people; attend the reception!
