Good for the Alabama State Personnel Board. The actions taken will hopefully stop the illegal activities of the Alabama State Employees Association and their shady director E.J. McArthur. The Nationwide deal with the state employee union is clearly a pay for play scheme.
Maybe Collins will jump in the Governor’s race.
Everybody else is!
MONTGOMERY ADVERTISER editorial – Troy King Tone Deaf on Conflicts of Interest: “Troy King apparently likes a good party, and the state’s attorney general is not going to let a little thing like a conflict of interest keep him from enjoying one….when it comes to ethical behavior by an elected official, King at the very least appears to be tone deaf.”
Troy is so Toast. And he is so without shame.
Would he please resign and stop embrassing himself and the state.
Even the papers know he is a joke now.
