September 1, 2019

Radio talk show host Dale Jackson and Dexter Strong take you through this week’s biggest political stories, including:

— Should Governor Kay Ivey resign over wearing blackface?

— What is next for ALDOT and south Alabama after the death of the Mobile River Bridge and Bayway project?

— Was it wise for the ALGOP to target U.S. Representative Ilhan Omar (D-MN)?

Jackson and Strong are joined by FM Talk 106.5’s Sean Sullivan to talk about the impact to south Alabama of the Mobile River Bridge and Bayway project’s death.

Jackson closes the show with a “parting shot” where he argues that maybe this toll bridge proposal was never meant to succeed.

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