Backstory Podcast No 174 New House New Rules

Goodwyn Mills and Caywood are the architects selected by the State of Alabama to design a new State House and they have released renderings of the building as well as floor plans for the six story structure. The Alabama Legislature is in session for a few more days and it is with a heavy heart that we announce that Sen Greg Albritton killed his own gaming bill. It did not pass by his lone vote against. PCI gaming, you can say that again. But it could come back up and pass with only Albritton changing his vote. It appears that a new ethics bill will pass and be ignored much like the current ethics laws. Dirty Library books, more money for their slush funds, historical horse racing slot machines, porn blockers factory settings for mobile phones (sounds anti-republican as one can get), and the Alabama Legislature created a new property right similar to mineral rights but one that allows the owner of the PORE SPACE under the property to fill it with toxic waste in the form of aerosolized gas. And authorizing the Alabama Department of Conservation to lease this space under our state land, water, and parks. New Rules. Deputy Hornady and the Baldwin County Commission lose their immunity in the shooting death of Johnathan Victor. Mobile has fired its Chief of Police. The student protests are out of control and every participant is an antisemite (according to the news). Another Boeing whistleblower bites the dust. The Trump hush money trial is a circus. And Trump VP candidate Kristi Noem reveled in her autobiography (fill in this blank with your favorite meme) that she once killed her dog because he wasn't good at bird hunting. Yes this could be her Waterloo.
