The Alabama Legislature will meet on the 12th at high noon. There is audio feed of the session available. However, the Legislature does not keep an audio archive. So, it falls us citizens to do it. It will be captured and uploaded to our archive.

Alabama Line |
The Alabama Line is being updated and will return perhaps as soon as the first week of February.
The Alabama Line and its contents are the creation of Doc’s Political Parlor, reflect consensus from insiders and well-connected folks on both sides of the aisle, and will be updated as conditions change. These odds are meant to inform, entertain, and provoke, not to serve as actual means for losing money. Permission granted to use this material if PoliticalParlor.net is cited as the source.
