FORMER ALABAMA GOVERNOR SENTENCED TO 7 YEARS
SIEGELMAN
Today, the court sentenced former Alabama Governor Don Siegelman to seven years and four months for his part in a bribery scheme in his effort to get a state lottery. Siegleman is a Republican with a Democratic legislature. There is no way they were going to let a state lottery come into being. That would make too much sense. Georgia has a state lottery and it helps students and teachers. It helps pay for school activities and other educational function. That was what Siegelman wanted to bring to Alabama, where we have schools that are falling apart, students out in portables because they haven't built enough schools to hold all the students.
But, again, that's a Republican Governor battling a democratic Legislature. Just like Guy Hunt. He was nearing the end of his second term. Since he knew he couldn't run again, he took some of the money out of his campaign war chest and used it to buy a house. He was brought up on Ethics charges and found guilty. Now, after Hunt was removed from office, Jim Folsom JR. took over as governor. Now, before he was removed from office, Guy Hunt had been working to get Mercedes to build a plant near Vance. After Hunt's removal from office, Folsom took over the negotiations. He gave Mercedes the land tax free, and not only that, but he called out the National Guard to clear the land that the plant would be built on. An Ethics group from Washington was looking into the deal.By the time they made a decision, Folsom was ending his term in office.

EPA NOT PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
EPA
The Environmental Protection Agency is doing everything BUT protecting the environment. They are supposed to the air quality standards based on scientific test. Today they released a recommendation for the smog level. This recommendation was set after a two day meeting with industry officials. The level they set was .08 parts per million. The EPA's own scientist say that levels as low as .06-.065 ppm, would reduce deaths related to heart attacks or respiratory ailments by 75 percent. But instead of listening to their own scientist, they are listening to scientist that have their interest in industry, not public health.
The EPA has given two weeks for the public to make their opinions known before the make their levels permanent. If they do, we might all have to wear respirators.
