Photo: A Politician Sweeps Around His Own Door
November 6, 2014
A photo we first published Tuesday on Facebook only went viral on a local scale, so we wanted to share it here on NorthEscambia.com.
On election day, we actually found a politician that sweeps around his own door — literally. Our camera caught Atmore, AL, Mayor Jim Staff sweeping outside the main entrance to the Atmore City Hall. Amidst all the negative flip-flopping of the all those TV election ads, we thought it was a bright moment in politics.
Staff explained that his momma taught him how to use a broom, and he’s not a afraid of a little work. He was not on Tuesday’s ballot.
