It's a start

Scrushy must wear GPS tracker when out of area

I'd rather he had to wear it all the time. Even better, if they'd revoke bail and throw him in jail where he belongs. The prosecutor thinks Scrushy's a flight risk and it sure looks like he was up to something in south Florida.

I like that Scrushy has a probation officer

Breaking News from The Birmingham News: Probation officer says Scrushy trip was discussed

However, is he this easygoing with all of his clients? "Sure, take the kids to Disney World, then take a side trip to West Palm. No problem!" Ankle bracelet!

Lock him up!

Breaking News from The Birmingham News: Prosecutors say Scrushy might be flight risk

The Scrush apparently violated his bail agreement by taking a yacht from Palm Beach to Miami. Which I have to admit seems like the way to go when it comes to violating bail. The government had agreed to allow him to take a family vacation to Disney World, which most felons don't get to do. Anyway, the prosecutor wants him put under house arrest with electronic monitoring (i.e. ankle bracelet). Yay!

This should be good

IRS seeks Jeffco checks aiding nonprofit group

So we have this nonprofit agency, "Computer Help for Kids", which the IRS is investigating. It was founded by an all-star group: Crazy Larry Langford, Richard Scrushy, and former Birmingham City Councilman and Jefferson County Commissioner John Katopodis. The nonprofit refurbishes used computers and donates them to needy children, which seems like a good thing. However, there seem to be some issues in CHK's books, which are all tangled up with another foundation founded by Katopodis and with the Holy Family Catholic school's foundation, headed by Langford's wife. Langford and Scrushy... Even if there's nothing here, I have to cover this.

Seems sensible enough

Langford's idea could revive hope for hospital

Larry Langford wants the county to lease unused beds from Cooper Green ("Indigent Patients Check In, But They Don't Check Out") to the digital hospital out on 280, which isn't licensed to operate any. I don't see anything insane about this, but since it's Langford I assume there's something.
