Vote 2009: Bell, Cooper to participate in four runoff mayoral debates
By Wade KwonJefferson County commissioner William Bell (shown at far left) and attorney Patrick Cooper will get it on, in a political sense. The two remaining candidates for mayor of Birmingham have agreed to participate in four debates sometime after Jan. 1.
(At some point, we’ll have to start calling this Vote 2009-10.)
Cooper finished first in Tuesday’s election, and Bell finished second, but neither captured enough votes to win outright. Cooper proposed that two debates be broadcast on television, the other two on radio. Sponsors, locations and formats have not been determined yet.
Those looking for their past answers should check out the Terminal’s flashback to 2007, with audio interviews of both candidates.

The runoff election is Jan. 19.
