In fact, I think Alabama Democrats should let him know doing what's right for Alabama isn't a bad thing or a Party thing!

Bentley proposes putting lottery revenue into the General Fund. This fund was short $85,000,000 for Medicaid, they just kicked tens of thousands off SNAP (and that is Fed money!), the legislature has all the growth revenue locked in the Education Trust Fund - the Republican supermajority might just let a "regressive" revenue program get through - they will not raise anymore taxes!

If it weren't so damn hot, we might have to march in the streets!
