Does Alabama need a toll bridge connecting southern Talladega County to Shelby County? Wealthy developer Tim James is pushing the project that he is touting to be a much-needed stimulus for commercial and industrial growth in the area. The proposed bridge will only be a two-lane, 1,600-foo…
It seems the Talladega City school board can’t get its act together — “together” being the operative word. And if they can’t work together, maybe it’s time to call in the state and break the whole thing up and start over.
It is good to see the Alabama State Legislature passed a bill making it a hate crime to target policemen.
As a retired professional clown, I would like to speak on behalf of clowns, and of circus people in general.

MONTGOMERY — The 2020 legislative session, which began last week, will be the second session of Gov. Kay Ivey’s administration. For the second straight year, she and the Legislature will be facing a major obstacle.
