BIRMINGHAM, Ala. Acting Birmingham Mayor Carole Smitherman has made another big personnel change by firing Deborah Vance-Bowie as chief of staff.
Smithernman, who took office last week upon the conviction of Mayor Larry Langford on federal corruption charges, says Vance-Bowie holds substantial responsibility for a nearly $21 million shortfall in the city's budget.
Vance-Bowie says she's the one who uncovered the problems.

In 2007, Birmingham Mayor Larry Langford campaigned with the slogan "Let's do something!"
At the time, I thought it was vapid and asinine, but nothing speaks like results.
Lately I've been thinking about how some of the 10 candidates running for city council or one of the would-be mayors waiting for a special election could tweak that catchphrase, and I'm willing to lend my variation to the right candidate.
