          It was not the turpentine men who slashed the pine trees and hauled away the crusty pine sap, or the lumbermen who cut down the virgin pines and hauled away the pine lumber, or the railroad men who cleared paths through the piney woods only to connect market centers, who settled Henry County…

            We live in an era of perceived ‘free money’ – one stimulus package after another, unemployment bonuses paying more than many citizens make in their daily jobs – free this, free that.

              Alabama lawmakers have approved enhanced legal protections for police officers accused of misconduct. The bill now goes to Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey who expressed her for the measure in her State of the State address. Republicans said it is needed to provide a clear legal framework and to show for law enforcement officers faced with making split-second decisions. Black lawmakers sharply criticized the bill. Sen.

              Alabama lawmakers have ed a bill that would make it a felony to knowingly bring someone into the state who is illegally in the U.S..

Immigrant advocates are watching to see whether that changes under President Donald Trump’s istration.
