Ex-Alabama Lawmaker Pulling Strings from Prison

· Leave a Comment

Former Alabama House Speaker Mike Hubbard (R) “tried and failed to orchestrate his release by seeking to have language added to a prison bill when the Legislature recently met in special session,” AL.com reports.

“According to the filing, Hubbard found the support he needed among old state House colleagues, but he could not get the support in the state Senate to change the law to let him out early.”

Same Election. Different Stories.

Election Day brings a flood of political news — and which sources you follow can shape the story you see.

That's why I appreciate what Ground News does. It shows how the same story is covered across the political spectrum — and highlights important stories that one side may be ignoring entirely.

And when the votes are counted and everyone starts debating what they mean, it's a useful way to get a broader view.
