Hoover Mayor Tony Petelos said Wednesday he is "strongly" considering a run for Alabama governor in 2010.
Petelos said he’s been talking with people around the state about running as a Republican nominee, but has yet to form a campaign committee or take official action.A decision could be made by June 1, he said, when candidates are allowed to begin raising campaign funds.
Petelos currently is in his second term as mayor of Hoover. A former legislator in the state’s House of Representatives, the Ensley native previously served as Alabama’s commissioner of the Department of Human Resources, a spot appointed by Gov. Fob James. He now sits on its board, an appointment made by Gov. Bob Riley, who cannot run again because of term limits.

Daily Real Estate News April 14, 2009How to avoid the Vacant Home Look Selling a home that is vacant can be harder than selling a lived-in home, experts say. Here are some ideas from Pam and Dave Pettigrew, certified residential specialists with Prudential Rocky Mountain in Fort Collins, Colo., on what practitioners and sellers should consider to protect an empty property and get it sold.
Give the house a lived-in look. Get a neighbor or family member to make the house look occupied by parking a car in the driveway, opening and closing the drapes and taking in any mail.
Groom the yard. Use a lawn service during the summer to keep the grass cut and a snow removal service in the winter to scrape the walks and driveway.
No outstanding nicks. Hide the effects of missing furniture. Paint and replace rugs so there are no faded spots or blemishes on the walls. Cover accent paint that alone looks odd.
Leave some furniture. A few chairs, tables, lamps and beds (or empty mattress boxes with spreads) give buyers a sense of space.
Keep the utilities on. Set the thermostat at a comfortable level during the winter and summer.
Hire a maid. Make sure the home remains spotless.
Check the homeowner’s policy. Understand the coverage when the home is vacant.
