Alabama Legislators complained today of wasting taxpayer money because the special session on redistricting will now last at least a sixth day because of a senator’s request to read a Senate bill at length.
MONTGOMERY | The House on Monday approved a Republican-drawn House redistricting plan and sent it to the Senate for consideration, but the Senate was bogged down by Democratic stalling tactics and didn’t immediately approve its plan despite clearly having the votes.
MONTGOMERY | Legislators plan three hearings today on new House and Senate district lines, even though Gov. Robert Bentley has yet to proclaim a special session to consider the changes.
MONTGOMERY | A proposed constitutional amendment that would alter the selection process of the Auburn University board of trustees went to a conference committee Wednesday night after the House of Representatives changed the original Senate measure.
A conference committee of six legislators is using the Legislature’s last meeting day to try to work out differences between the House and Senate over Alabama’s $5.5 billion education budget.
