Radio talk show host Dale Jackson and 256Today CEO Mecca Musick take you through Alabama’s biggest political stories, including:

— Did Governor Kay Ivey actually do anything on gambling this legislative session before declaring a failure to get new gambling deals done her biggest regret?

— Alabama Republican gubernatorial candidate Tim James has criticized an LGBTQ charter school for putting on a drag show. Was this fair?
