Four Legislators to Guest Blog

I am pleased to announce that four legislators have agreed to be guest-bloggers here at the Political Parlor during the 2008 legislative session. Sen. Rusty Glover (R – Mobile), Sen. Parker Griffith (D – Huntsville), Rep. Chris England (D – Tuscaloosa), and Rep. Cam Ward (R – Alabaster) have agreed to offer their perspectives on the ins and outs of the legislative session this year.

Many readers know that Rep. Ward started blogging here during last year’s legislative session, and I very much look forward to reading the offerings of our new guests in Legislative Dispatch (the 2008 name for the section of the blog that was previously called Posts from the Legislature). Legislative Dispatch has a modestly improved new look also, if I say so myself.

I hope you will welcome our new bloggers warmly. I very much appreciate their willingness to give us an inside take on this year’s legislative session. Barring any glitches in getting our guests up to speed on the mechanics of posting, we should expect to hear from them next week, perhaps sooner.

The legislative session starts next week.
