Q. Why does Mayor Tommy Battle not have his e-mail address on the City of Huntsville's Web site - www.hsvcity.com? I think Mayor Loretta Spencer had her e-mail address on the Web site. The City Council members have theirs listed. Does Mayor Battle plan to list his e-mail address soon?

A. The reason Mayor Battle's e-mail address is not listed on the city's Web site is for security reasons. The mayor's office said by not posting his e-mail online, it prevents phishing and the amount of spam received. The mayor can be reached through e-mail at tommy.battle@hsvcity.com.
