How long does it take for a Byrne supporter, staffer, sympathizer to get us an honest answer to a straightforward question?

Where does he get the $70 million figure for the “cuts” he uses as an accomplishment and evidence of conservative fiscal management??? I didn’t make the $70 mill up, I’m simply asking for the proof. Who can point us to the figures of these supposed savings for the 2-year system?

You must be doing something right when they are nitpicking your ad for everything in it except the issue that really matters.

Wonder what she calls a politician who fiddles while Rome burns (i.e. PACT)?

And a few days ago she was in Huntsville saying that state government lives “too high on the hog.” Well then Kay, why don’t you resign your office and save us your salary since you’re not in the office earning it these days?

Folks, this crowd of candidates is setting a new standard for having the bar set very low.

Some were hoping we might see a contrast or debate of ideas (e.g health care, defense, role of government, manufacturing vs agriculture) but this does not seem the case so far. However, thing’s change.

Profiles in cowardice

THE REGISTER editorial board has spent the last few months in regular criticism of opponents’arguments against Gov. Bob Riley’s tax reform plan. What we find inexplicable, however, is not that some people object to the tax and accountability package, but that numerous leaders on the state and local levels don’t have the guts to say what they think.
