And you thought you had a bad day

Mobile County's former school board president lost his job Thursday after an impeachment jury found him guilty on charges of "willful neglect of duty, corruption, incompetence, and offenses involving moral turpitude." He'll go to trial later this month on a separate charge that he ran over an 8-year-old girl's foot while drunk. He also is charged with six felonies related to spending more than $9,000 of school system money on Mardi Gras throws.
