Craft may be out for a month - al.com: "GULF SHORES — Mayor Robert Craft will likely be out of City Hall for up to a month as he recovers from brain surgery that was scheduled to take place in Birmingham on Tuesday morning, city officials and a family friend said.

Craft, 57, is undergoing surgery to remove what doctors believe is a benign brain tumor. The first-term mayor and Gulf Shores businessman said in December that he had been having problems with his balance and underwent tests and exploratory surgery at the University of Alabama-Birmingham Medical Center over the holidays."
