January 31, 2021

Radio talk show host Dale Jackson and Alabama Democratic Party Executive Committee member Lisa Handback take you through Alabama’s biggest political stories, including:

— Will the Alabama Department of Public Health expand eligibility for the coronavirus vaccine any time soon?

— Why are Montgomery Public Schools so intent on keeping their students at home?

— Why is President Joe Biden focusing on so many executive orders after talking about unity and decrying former President Donald Trump’s use of the orders?

Jackson and Handback are joined by Madison County Commissioner Violet Edwards to discuss the acquiring of federal funding for COVID-19-related relief.

Jackson closes the show with a “Parting Shot” at members of Congress who need to just censure former President Donald Trump and move on, but instead insist on dragging the country through another impeachment for no reason.

Dale Jackson is a contributing writer to Yellowhammer News and hosts a talk show from 7-11 AM weekdays on WVNN and on Talk 99.5 from 10AM to noon.
