MONTGOMERY — The 2020 presidential election has already begun. It usually begins on Labor Day of the year prior to the election. However, in recent decades the parade has started early. They really are four-year caravans. They begin the day after the president is sworn in.
It seems almost everyone is more than tired of telemarketers. I think it’s kind of like "everyone talks about the weather, no one does anything about it." They are much like kudzu — here to stay.

What a debate that seems to be igniting and polarizing Talladega on social media. Some people want to continue with the idea of re-branding Talladega and give potential visitors a reason to drive the 10 miles off of I-20. Others see it as a huge waste of money and a potential money pit.

MONTGOMERY — Some of us who were former legislators, who served our counties in the Legislature a long time, were considered by many to always be their legislator. A good many of my former constituents still call me with questions or problems. Some ask me how to get in touch with their congr…
