    Shouldn’t the 30 DA’s be doing their job, or was it a state holiday? I’d like to see if they billed those hours they were protesting in Montgomery, and I’m curious to know if they traveled in state vehicles, or were they on their on meal ticket?

    Dear D. Trump:

    I like the way you think!!

    I haven’t seen so many windbags since John Tyson was
    in Selma with Bill and Hillary Clinton!

    For safety reasons they were not standing on a wooden
    platform and Nancy Worley was’nt invited.

    I wonder if each of them brought 4 security guards like King does when he travels around the State> Talk about a waste of resources. What does he need all that protection?

  • Cliff

    I understand why Troy rides with armed guards in an armoured car. He’s worried about the DAs!

    Troy King accepted luxury box seats from Alabama Power a company whose customers he is supposed to represent before the Public Service Commission.

    While conducting an investigation of the two-year college system, Troy King asked a target of the investigation, former Chancellor Roy Johnson, to find a job for the mother of a staff member.

    The hiring scandal eventually forced Troy King to step aside from the two-year college investigation and delegate it to the St. Clair District Attorney.

    Troy King also asked Roy Johnson, who he was still investigating, to donate to a victims’ advocacy group named VOCAL.

    Troy King do the good people of Alabama a favor and resign!
