Legislative Session Ends - No Guns in Schools

While the good citizens of Alabama may soon be paying for a special session of our legislature, the regular session for this year has ended. One bill that didn't pass was the arming of teachers. So at least for this year, we don't have to worry about Mr. Debtwitchet shooting Junior.

What else has been promised over the years and never come to fruition? A revamping of our state constitution and either a revamping or outright removal of the certificate of need law. Maybe next year? Just kidding.

A reader asked us if we were sure the Church of the Highlands was assisting/over the Four-Way ministry. This is from its ultimate critic Edward Bowman:

I want to make something’s clear. Some are making statements that the Church of the Highlands isn’t involved in this “ministry” (business) halfway house for convicted sex offenders. That’s not true!

Fact 1. Church of the Highlands made it quite clear to me when I spoke to them about Willie Simpson and their involvement.
Fact 2. Mayor for the City Tuscumbia made clear to me that the Church Of The Highlands has oversight of this “ministry” (business) halfway house.
Fact 3. If you look at the template for Tuscaloosa the Church Of The Highlands & Chamber Of Commerce... it’s like mirroring the same!
Fact 4. Mr. McKinney made the statement in a room full of people (video to back it up) 3 times that the Church Of The Highlands has oversight of this!

We're not sure if it's a good thing or a bad thing that a scandal in Lauderdale County is about to make everyone forget about the half-way house...
