ASEA/AEA, et al would also form superduper voltron to defeat any such measure. However, other states do it. After all, the fox does not guard the hen house.

Isn't that the same thing as barring all government employees from running for the legislature? Can we do that? >>I’d also go so far as barring legislators from holding any government job from part time census taker and up.

I have seen and heard Greeson named in that complaint. Now that he is being prosecuted, they are still mad. Suddenly he is being prosecuted because he is not Republican enough.

Has Riley excluded him from the investigation or will King not do Riley's bidding? Amazing that Alabama's top cop is no where tobe found in these investigations! Where is Troy King on all of this?

Greeson should not be susprised that his free ride has drawn Federal attention. It's time for all this local corruption to pay the price. We stil lhave Sen Bedford out there, who "donated" tax payers money to the UA and then had them put his name on the plaque as the donor.

Todd has for many years been friends with Lowell Barron a senator from Dekalb County which is the same county he represents. For everyone's information the republican party in Dekalb County has supported Todd when he has stood up against the grand old party leadership because he stood up for the voters who sent him to Montgomery and not political hacks. Maybe a special prosecutor should be called in to investigate Alice she clearly is in a panic and decided to try to show this week she is not a person who would politically prosecute anyone. Oh no not desperate alice . Wonder if Blackledge told her about Greeson I heard he got calls from folks this summer at northeast jr college and wrote nothing about it so much for fair and balanced journalism. I also wonder what Alice thought when Rev Clarke showed up at the door she enters at the federal courthouse and prayed for her. She needs all the prayer she can get, people now see her for what she is a political hack with a license to persecute. Must be a bad situation poor alice.

Published April 22, 2005

Rep. Todd Greeson (R-Ider) said Tuesday he would not be blackmailed by the Republican Caucus – and that he had resigned from the organization.

That was Greeson’s answer to a warning letter he received from the Alabama House Republican Caucus Steering Committee earlier this month.”

Isn’t it more than a little interesting that this particular Republican is being investigated - the one that is cross purposes with Riley, Hubbard, and the Republican machine. I am sure that it is just a coincidence.
