AL-05: Parker’s Heavier Gloves

Alabama's 5th Congressional DistrictDocuments have surfaced to expand on the ad that Republican Wayne Parker has been running against Democratic opponent Parker Griffith in AL-05. Brian at Flashpoint and Dale Jackson at the Attack Machine were early to the party, so check out their posts with links to “A Report to the Board of Trustees of the Huntsville Hospital Relative to the Program in Radiation Oncology at the Huntsville Hospital” and a transcript related to Griffith’s suit against Huntsville Hospital. (Traffic is a blogger’s sustenance, so I’ll direct you there since they had the goods first.) Dale and Brian both make the point that recent misrepresentation on Griffith’s part about the situation 20 years ago “goes directly to the issue of trust” for the candidate.

Democrat Griffith has been perceived as the candidate with the upper hand, and Republicans are hoping/believing this is some serious weight added to Wayne Parker’s boxing gloves as the two candidates duke it out. Democrats are hoping that Wayne Parker is not contender enough to deliver a knockout punch. Is this a glancing blow or a knockdown?

    Jay Love and Wayne Parker have had a good couple of weeks. We will see if the momentum continues. As of now, they will both win. But it is a long time (politically speaking) to election day. All the other Alabama incumbents are safe, including Mike Rogers.

    I hear this has largely backfired on Wayne Parker. Looks like Parker Griffith might be clobbering him after all.

    Gri$$ith smells bad in this. Gri$$ith is a criminal who billed for more Medicare or insurance money, and the media can’t connect the dots and get to the bottom of it. Hey HTimes, get your blue tinted glasses off and fight for the truth instead of believing that bully Gri$$ith.

Senate Passes Ban on No-Bid Contracts–Makes State Government More Accountable

I am very pleased that Senate Republicans joined with the Senate Democratic Caucus this week to pass a major piece of our legislative agenda.  SB 52, sponsored by Senator Lowell Barron, will end the abuse that we have seen of the awarding of no-bid contracts.  During Governor Riley’s seven years in office, he has awarded [...]
