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

— Did Governor Kay Ivey do the right thing by opening up some of the state while ordering some business remain closed?

— The Alabama legislature well meet to discuss budgets. Will Democrats show up, and will anything else be addressed?

Jackson closes the show with a “parting shot” at those who imply that Americans who want their country to open are hellbent on making the coronavirus pandemic worse.

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