Posted by I had my third Town Hall meeting last night in my district over the last eight days. Roads, jobs and schools dominated the discussion. I heard complaint after complaint about the terrible conditions of State and County roads in the Town of Colony. 
I also heard from many who had either lost their jobs or had a family member who had lost their job. After listening to my constituents, I am convinced that the Democratic Caucus is on the right track with our agenda and the Republican Senators who are leading the filibuster against our Highway Jobs bill are out of touch with the people of this Great State.
In addition to trying to invest in needed infrastructure and creating new jobs, the Democratic Caucus is fighting to protect the jobs that are already here. At a time when Alabama workers are facing 11 percent unemployment we need to make sure that state contract jobs and state wages are going to Alabamians and not illegal workers. My bill (SB 40) to prevent contractors who employ illegal aliens from getting state contracts was passed in committee this week. When this bill passes it will ensure that if you receive a state contract, then you are going to use legal workers. We are not going to use state taxpayers’ money to fund the jobs of illegal immigrants. That is wrong and my bill will stop that.

Funny, I seem to remember Democrats like Zeb shooting down the illegal immigrant bill in the past. Seems he’s changed his tune.
Shows that no one cares about ethics, a new state constitution or any of that business. We need to fix alot of roads and we don’t need a gas tax like the Republicans are pushing.
