Coosada officials have been upset about officials from the state, Elmore County and other municipalities ignoring them.
Disagreements have led to two lawsuits and until recently, Coosada officials have had few conversations with the local legislative delegation. Coosada Mayor Jim Houston requested a meeting with the delegation in hopes of airing the town’s grievances. State Sen. Clyde Chambliss, Rep. Jerry Starnes and Rep. Troy Stubbs sat down with Houston at the Coosada Town Hall.
