## Resource

Leeds, Alabama, is racing to ditch Blount County’s 911 system and jump ship to St. Clair County in just 90 days — but that timeline’s hitting roadblocks. Blount County was blindsided by the sudden reversal after already budgeting without Leeds, only for the city to announce they’re staying… then quickly pivoting again. With only three 911 calls in three years, questions swirl about the real motive. Blount’s big concern? Avoiding extra taxpayer costs as they scramble to negotiate who pays what, how records transfer, and where state 911 funds go. While they’re eager to help, legal hurdles could easily derail the mayor’s fast-track plan. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
