Tuesday…time to come back to work…spring break is over
State legislators returned to the Alabama State House on Tuesday after, what one would hope to have been, a relaxing spring break. The Alabama Senate proved, as usual, to seem unorganized and confused about the task at hand. The Senate convened at 2:00 and did not adopt [...]
