Grocery tax reversal and Amendment 1’s pay clause take center stage

A grocery tax pledge and Amendment 1’s pay provision put Republican priorities and legislative power under scrutiny before Alabama’s election.

Bill Britt, Susan Britt and Josh Moon break down the fight for Alabama’s 2nd Congressional District, another leadership change at the Medical Cannabis Commission, Governor Kay Ivey’s decision to spare Toforest Johnson and the latest delay in the Steve Perkins murder case.
