Governor Bentley’s 5th State of the State address Tuesday night may not have answered any questions about his proposed tax hike, or given comfort to conservatives hoping he’d change his mind, but it certainly made for interesting fodder for some of Alabama’s Tweeters.
Here are some of the best Tweets Yellowhammer saw during the #ALSOTS:
Thankful Gov. Bentley is incorporating Democratic platform ideas into his plan #combinedreporting #closingcorporatetaxloopholes #alpolitics

When you sound like Riley from 2003, are encouraged by @ALHouseDems & are upstaged by AL Supreme Court…well…not best night. #alpolitics

I asked Griffith what brought him here. "I heard the governor's going to enact my platform," he said. #alpolitics

My suggestion for fixing General Fund: Put a coffee shop in Statehouse, state gets cut. I don't have fiscal note, but it'd be $$ #alpolitics

Doesn't "revenue enhancer" sound a lot better than "tax increase"?
