HINDS REPRESENTING WALKER COUNTY AT 2018 MISS ALABAMA USA PAGEANT House GOP to keep income tax rate for wealthiest earners

WASHINGTON (AP) — Furiously working to finish a tax bill, House Republicans have decided to keep the income tax rate for the wealthiest earners in the face of Democratic criticism that the overhaul pushed by President Donald Trump would benefit the rich. Trump and the GOP consider a revamp of the na- tion’s tax code, the first in three decades, a legislative and political imperative after the collapse this past summer of Republican attempt to repeal Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act. Republicans insist they must deliver on taxes to keep their congressional ma- jorities in next year’s midterm elections. Health care was clearly a consideration in Trump’s tweet Wednesday morning as he suggested repealing the requirement that Americans get health insurance or face a tax penalty.

Thursday, Nov. 2, 2017 SPORTS A11 STATE VOLLEYBALL TOURNAMENT DME LEGACY AWARD Jasper right on track Spradlin earns 1st Legacy Award By W. BRIAN HALE Eagle Sports Writer DORA — For five seasons, Dora’s Jack Spradlin has been a fixture on the Bulldogs’ special teams — making clutch kicks, pin- ning opponents deep with a long punt and limiting offenses with touch- backs on kickoffs. Spradlin makes Tonight, Spradlin will start his 52nd 52nd straight consecutive game start tonight for Dora — a rare achievement for any player in their high school career. In honor of his milestone, Spradlin has been granted the Daily Mountain Eagles’ first Legacy award for any foot- ball player who starts 50 games in their high school career. Spradlin’s career at Dora began in 2013 during his eighth grade year when he kicked field goals and extra points, supplying Dora with 52 total points. In 2014, Spradlin added kickoff and punting to his special teams duties and was named to the Alabama Sports Writers Association Class 4A team as an honorable mention. Two seasons later, he earned a first team selection by the ASWA as a punter. He has been Daily Mountain Eagle - Johnathan Bentley named as a member of the Eagle Elite for four consecutive seasons.
