Levon Manzie--Mobile, AL council member--has a so-so catchphrase for District 2. But I give him a few more supercharged catchphrases to use at council meetings. He is a reverend, so naturally we discuss the role of prayer in meetings. Plus: whether it's okay to bend the rules and the reasons why council members make announcements.
