• The Alabama House and Senate have come to order for the 10th legislative day of the 2010 regular session. #
• Senator Lowell Barron tells the full body that he plans to take up Sunset Bills and then adopt a special order calendar. #
• Its the 10th legislative day and the senate has begun passing Sunset Bills. #
• Looks like a republican stall on the senate floor. @ScottBeason and Arthur Orr are currently dialoguing at the mic. #
• @ScottBeason is offering substitutes to all sunset bills. The sub says an illegal immigrant could not serve on any of these state boards. #
• Senator Lowell Barron (D) tells the body that gaming will come up next week, probably on Tuesday. #
• Barron tells the body that Senator Ted Little's PACT bill is on the calendar. #
• Sen. Del Marsh speaks on the Special Order Calendar saying its missing 6 jobs bills. #
• Sen. Barron's special order calendar contains 18 bills. #
• Marsh: We are ready to vote it today. #
• Del Marsh offers a substitute to the special order calendar adding SB380 (BINGO) so the senate can debate the bill today. #
• Marsh to Barron: I am up here for the people of Alabama, who are you up here for? #
• Barron to Marsh: Are you mad at me? ….Marsh: (silence) #
• Senator Charles Bishop says he is considering running against Rep. Ken Guin for his House seat in 2010. #
• Yes, he said he is running numbers. RT @derektrotter: Ha! Seriously?! RT @AlabamaPolitics: Bishop running against Guin for his HD in 2010. #
• Marsh's sub to the special order calendar failed. Barron's originally special order calendar was adopted. #

• http://twitpic.com/12molm Commissioner Sparks: We are here for the safety of our people and to let the process work. #
• Sparks: I am asking the Gov to please stop the raids. Let the legislature deal with the problem and let the people vote. #
• Sparks: We are pleading with the Gov. Give us the opportunity to let the process work. This is a defined moment of leadership. #
• Sparks: We are very much concerned about the rhetoric and the attitudes. We don't want to repeat what happened 50 years ago. #
• Sparks: We just want to ask the Governor to please stop. It would be a tragedy to let this escalate to violence and someone get hurt. #
• Sparks: I am asking everyone to please back up and give the legislative process time to work and let the people vote. #
• Sparks: Don't let something happen in Alabama that we are going to have to deal with for the rest of our lives. #
• Sen Sanders: This is about the Governor creating his own authority. This is about violating the law. #
• Sanders: The Governor is provoking violence. #
• Sparks: This is a fraud on the people of Alabama. #
• Sparks: The bottom line is pretty simple. There are thousands of people out of work. #
• Sanders: I think the Bingo legislation has an opportunity to pass. #
