Mother Lucy

Slowly but surely, Lucy Baxley is laying out her philosophy of government. She told a group of Rotarians last Wednesday that state government should be run "more like a family."

Speaking to the Tarrant-Pinson Valley Club at their Thursday luncheon meeting at Walker's Family Restaurant, Baxley said her approach to government was informed by her experience as a mother...

Instead of the typical refrain that government should be run "like a business," Baxley held up family as a model. Everyone in the state should be able to express themselves, she said. Everyone should have a seat at the table. Taking all opinions into account, the parents should make wise decisions in the interest of the whole family. (B'ham News)
