Larry Langford, Democrat and Harvard graduate. Langford and two associates were investigated by the Securities and Exchange Commission for actions which occurred during his tenure as County Commission president involving allegedly illegal transactions which steered County bond business to particular companies in exchange for bribes.[4][5] On April 30, 2008, the Securities and Exchange Commission sued Langford in federal court.The lawsuit alleges Langford accepted more than $156,000 in cash and benefits from Montgomery banker Bill Blount in exchange for county bond business. Ironically, Jefferson County senators on the same day approved bills by a 6-1 vote that would give Birmingham's mayor a $40,000 pay raise in the next term.

All that and CNN manages to blame Wall Street for Birmingham's problems.

Sounds to me more like a corrupt City government is at fault.

But that would require actually pinning some responsibility on a black Democrat, and we all know:

Again, we get back to a Harvard or Yale grad...who doesn’t know a thing about business or finance...and just pretending to be high in standing.

The minute you find any individual in a leadership position for a government organization or business....and they are a Harvard or Yale grad....dump them.
