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

— Can anyone stop, and will anyone try to stop, Governor Kay Ivey’s prison plan?

— Will the Alabama Legislature really make it more expensive to remove Confederate monuments?

— Is Alabama on the path to legalizing gambling, marijuana and the home delivery of alcohol?

Jackson and Handback are joined by Mobile FM Talk 106.5’s Jeff Poor to discuss the issues facing the state of Alabama this week.

Jackson closes the show with a “Parting Shot” at members of the legislature who may balk at passing coronavirus liability protection this session when it is required to get our economy fully reopened.

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.
