Riley, French, Waggoner hold press conference

Governor Riley held a press conference with Senators Waggoner and French. During the discussion Senator French said he is putting the Jefferson County Commission on notice. French said that if the county commission does not get their spending under control, they should not come back to the legislature to fix their problems again.

Governor Riley stated that he thinks the legislation passed today is great. He also noted that he believes the two bills provide the right amount of accountability for the county commission. Riley said that Jefferson County is now in control of their fate. Riley would not say when he expected to sign the bills, but it is anticipated to be sometime within a week.
