Alabama's Greedy Legislators

We have a greedy bunch of legislators running our state government here in Alabama. They tried pushing through a 61 oercent pay raise for themselves on a voice vote so the citizens wouldn't know who voted for it. Our Governor vetoed the bill which in turn caused them to override it with a roll call vote and it passed. The citizens of Alabama are infuriated by this as there has never been an instance when a pay raise for politicians was ever passed while they were in office. All pay raises were always voted for the next election that would be voted in, so these greedy HAWGS voted their own selves a raise. I decided to build a webpage and add it the the Internet so anyone could search it out and see who to vote out of office come next election.

You can find what I built here:

And he has lied about his election vows when he was in a close race. he made a vow to remove the annual tax appraisals if re-elected. Now he's quite about that. Just another tax and spend crook. I think most everyone in the state capital are crooks and liars!

I heard on politician on the news say that when the others voted the giant pay raise for themselves, they created one huge public relations nightmare that has made all the citizens of the state think that all the legislators in Montgomery are all liars and crooks. That came out of the mouth of one of our legislators.
