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

— How can we demand schools be closed but football happen for high schoolers?

— How big were two recent court rulings (Voter ID and illegal aliens can’t be counted for representation) for Alabama?

— Will the Edmund Pettus Bridge be renamed for civil rights icon and former U.S. Representative John Lewis (D-GA)?

Jackson and Handback are joined by Democratic candidate for Public Service Commission president Laura Casey to discuss Democrats running for office, the role of the Public Service Commission and her campaign.

Jackson closes the show with a “parting shot” directed at locales that decided to allow “Black Lives Matter” murals while not allowing other political opinions to be shared in the same public areas, such as roadways.

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