October 3, 2021

Political consultant Mecca Musick and former U.S. Attorney Jay Town, filling in for radio talk show host Dale Jackson, take you through Alabama’s biggest political stories, including:

— Was the special session a success?

— Can Katie Britt use the ALFA endorsement to make the GOP U.S. Senate primary in Alabama into a competitive race?

— Will we see more private entities and states, including Alabama, requiring COVID-19 vaccines?

Town and Musick are joined by radio talk show host Dale Jackson from WVNN in Huntsville.

Town closes the show with a “Parting Shot” directed at those who think building more prisons is the only thing needed to get the state in compliance with the Department of Justice.

Dale Jackson is a contributing writer to Yellowhammer News and hosts a talk show from 5-9AM weekdays on WVNN and on Talk 99.5 from 10AM to noon.
