May 9, 2021

Radio talk show host Dale Jackson and political consultant Mecca Musick take you through Alabama’s biggest political stories, including:

— What is next for marijuana after medical marijuana passes?

— Gambling bill dies again. Will it ever have enough votes?

— Should anyone really care that U.S. Representative Liz Cheney (R-WY) is feuding with former President Donald Trump and her own caucus?

Jackson and Musick are joined by 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” directed at Attorney General Steve Marshall, imploring him to start shutting down casinos that he has said in the past are illegal.

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.
