Alabama Legislature Just Lost Two More Million of Your Tax Dollars

No one likes to pay taxes, at least no one that we know. How do you feel when your legislature flushes your hard earned tax money down the toilet? Do we hear teeth grinding out there? 

If you haven't been keeping up, our state lost another two million (give or take a few thou) to the ACLU and Planned Parenthood last week. Before we go on, let's digress...

During the last bad storm, a neighbor sustained damage to his roof; leaks were everywhere. Since he was still using ALFA insurance, his agent couldn't have cared less and paid him $1,000.00. The neighbor was forced to decide between a roofer who promised to repair 90% of the leaks or going to Home Depot and purchasing 1K of pots/pans and tarps to catch the water. Which do you think he did?

If that had happened to our legislators, they would have apparently chosen the Home Depot route. Yes, instead of putting real money into sex education and birth control to lower the state's induced abortion rate by 90%, they decided to pass laws that are unconstitutional and which will cost the taxpayers millions in lost court fees. 

A 2016 court case cost the state 1.7 million. Then last week the state lost still another case to ACLU/Planned Parenthood which is expected to cost us around two million. Remember, no one with any legal expertise at all thought that these laws would pass court muster. Why did our legislature waste our money?

Now we have still another law passed in May that will cost us more millions. When you sign that check every spring to pay your state income taxes, you might as well send it directly to the ACLU. Apparently "Toys-R-Us" couldn't make it here, but "Idiots-R-Us" has a booming business in Montgomery.

BTW, we keep hearing about "government" paying for induced abortions. The only government program that pays for these procedures is Medicaid. How many do you think Alabama Medicaid paid for last year? We'll give you a hint: More than two, but less that four. These were all deemed medically necessary. Think about that...
