The Alabama House and Senate convened today at 6:00 pm CT. The senate welcomed three new members, Senators Keahey, Dunn, and Sanford.
Lt. Gov Folsom says he is optimistic that the legislature will get the job done. Folsom says he looks forward to seeing what the Jefferson County delegation brings to the table. He noted that he is serious about getting this issue resolved.
All moved smoothly until Senator Barron (D) suggested moving all Jefferson County bills to the Finance and Taxation E committee referencing two factions that divide LL2. Senator Waggoner (R) objected and noted that all Jefferson County bills go to LL2. LL2 has a 5 to 3 republican majority. In the end Barron withdrew his motion and all Jefferson County bills will go to LL2.
This week the Alabama House will convene Tuesday-Thursday at 5:00 pm and Friday at 9:00 am. The Alabama Senate will convene Tuesday at 9:00 am, Wednesday-Thursday at 5:00 and Friday at 9:00 am.
Stay tuned for updates from inside the Alabama State House.
