    Alabama Jobs Act

    ALABAMA JOBS ACT A REPORT TO THE ALABAMA LEGISLATURE 2017 BY THE JOINT LEGISLATIVE ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON ECONOMIC INCENTIVES Representative Alan Baker, Chairman Senator Arthur Orr, Vice Chairman President Pro Tem Del Marsh Speaker Mac McCutcheon Senator Tripp Pittman Representative Steve Clouse Senator Greg Reed Representative Kelvin Lawrence Senator Phil Williams Representative Bill Poole Commerce Secretary Greg Canfield – (Consultant) Joint Legislative Advisory Committee on Economic Incentives Jobs Act Report -2017 Mr. Greg Canfield presented to the Committee on Tuesday, January 23, 2018. Mr. Canfield stated that the data in his presentation is from July 2015 through December 2017. These numbers do not reflect the recent Toyota-Mazda announcement. Under the Alabama Jobs Act, the State has closed projects in 33 of Alabama’s 67 counties and has offered projects in 49 counties. It was pointed out that the counties that have not had any projects offered have some challenges not always presented in other counties. Mr. Canfield stated that a lack of local incentives would certainly be a part of any assessment on these counties. These counties are all “targeted” counties which includes additional incentives. Mr. Canfield noted that some of these counties are limited by a small population which restricts the size of projects. The largest project that has been awarded to a targeted county has created 222 jobs in Bibb County. In total, the Alabama Jobs act has created 718 jobs in the targeted counties with capital investment totaling $398.5 million for these counties. While there are some great successes here, it was admitted that we still have work to do for these targeted counties.

    Senate Committee Musical Chairs August 15, 2018 Key Retiring Committee Seniority over Sitting Chair/Ranking Member Viewed as Seat Republicans Will Most Likely Retain Viewed as Potentially At Risk Republican Seat Viewed as Republican Seat at Risk Viewed as Seat Democrats Will Most Likely Retain Viewed as Potentially At Risk Democratic Seat Viewed as Democratic Seat at Risk Notes • The Senate Republican leader is not term-limited; Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) will likely remain majority leader. The only member of Senate GOP leadership who is currently term-limited is Republican Whip John Cornyn (R-TX). • Republicans have term limits of six years as chairman and six years as ranking member. Republican members can only use seniority to bump sitting chairs/ranking members when the control of the Senate switches parties. • Committee leadership for the Senate Aging; Agriculture; Appropriations; Banking; Environment and Public Works (EPW); Health Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP); Indian Affairs; Intelligence; Rules; and Veterans Affairs Committees are unlikely to change. Notes • Current Armed Services Committee (SASC) Chairman John McCain (R-AZ) continues to receive treatment for brain cancer in Arizona. Senator James Inhofe (R-OK) has served as acting chairman and is likely to continue to do so in Senator McCain’s absence. If Republicans lose control of the Senate, Senator McCain would lose his top spot on the committee because he already has six years as ranking member. • In the unlikely scenario that Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) does not take over the Finance Committee, Senator Mike Crapo (R-ID), who currently serves as Chairman of the Banking Committee, could take over the Finance Committee.

  • Gay Liberation Comes to Dixie—Slowly

    Gay Liberation Comes to Dixie—Slowly

    Alabama: Commandments, Amendments, and Defendants Patrick R. Cotter Alabama’s 2004 election was a quiet affair. Signs that a presidential campaign was occurring—candidate visits, partisan rallies, hard-hitting tele- vision commercials, or get-out-the-vote efforts—were largely missing from the state. The outcome of Alabama’s U.S. Senate race was a forgone conclu- sion from the beginning of the year. All of the state’s congressmen were easily reelected. Contests for the few state offices up for election in 2004 were generally both invisible and uncompetitive. The only part of the ballot that generated any interest—and even here it was limited—involved a pro- posed amendment to Alabama’s already long state constitution. Alabama’s 2004 election was also a clear Republican victory. Republi- cans George W. Bush and Richard Shelby easily carried the state in the presidential and U.S. Senate elections. The GOP kept it 5-to-2 advantage in Congressional seats. Republicans swept all the contested positions on the state Supreme Court. Alabama’s 2004 election campaign was not the first time the state had experienced a quiet presidential campaign. Nor was it the first in which Republicans did quite well. Both the 1988 and 2000 campaigns were also low-key affairs. Both were also campaigns that the GOP clearly won. These earlier low-key, Republican-winning, presidential campaigns did not significantly alter the state’s partisan politics. Rather, the close partisan balance that has characterized the state since the 1980s continued beyond these elections. (For descriptions of these earlier campaigns and analyses of recent Alabama politics see Cotter 1991; Cotter 2002; Ellington 1999; Cotter and Gordon 1999 and Stanley 2003).

This will allow for safer, more dependable fire protection for the community. AL Doug Jones, Cary Palmer City of Jemison $351,400 $50,000 This Rural Development investment will be used to purchase a 6,000 square foot Richard Shelby (06) public safety building that will become a second fire station and office space for the police department. The current fire station is located on the west side of the city. The city is divided by a CSX Railroad that causes response delays for the east side of the city. The new fire station will allow the city to provide better services to the east side. This will improve Jemison's ISO Public Protection Classification Rating, which could lower insurance premiums for the homeowners.
