Inside Alabama’s Legislature: Deal apparently done for new Senate #2
Posted: Jan 29, 2009 11:32 PM CST
On Thursday, Alabama’s Democratic party leadership met, and apparently worked out a deal to decide who will fill the number 2 position in the State Senate.
WSFA 12 News caught up with some of the Senate Democrats headed into a meeting **at the Alabama Education Building** in downtown Montgomery. WSFA 12 News is told they agreed to allow Jefferson County’s Senator Rodger Smitherman become the next President Pro Tem.
Earlier, WSFA 12 News had been told Marshall County Senator Hinton Mitchem was not willing to step down from that position. But, in the end, the state’s top Democrat, Lt. Gov. Jim Folsom says now is not the time for internal bickering.
Old Cloverdale, thanks for the update. A link to the WSFA post.
Not surprised to see the meeting AEA HQ, could a been the Masonic Hall which would really get things wound up.
Basically, Li’l Jim pulled Hinton aside and said…
