Candidate Gulley made a promise to work and make sure the finances of Bessemer are fiscally strong when he ran in 2010.

This strong fiscal position has allowed Bessemer to purchase equipment so employees can deliver vital city services to you the taxpayers; provide cost-of-living increases so employees can provide for their families; and invest in upgrades to the quality of life in Bessemer, such as improvements in city parks and matching grants to pave city streets.
