Andrew Sorrell Refuses State Vehicle

 

The Shoals' own Andrew Sorrell has a beautiful wife, cute daughter, lovely cat, and...a Chevy Malibu that he will be driving for the foreseeable future. That means he won't be driving a vehicle that we the taxpayers funded.

Presumably, Andrew is Sorrell's middle name, but we're pretty sure the term "common sense" is included in there somewhere. How many others in this new administration refused a state car? 

In fairness to Gov. Ivey, she's cutting back on needless expenses by doing away with the state motor pool by October. We salute her as well as Auditor Sorrell!

Worried about the Redstone rocket falling across I-65? The state's tourism office has said the landmark has become unsafe. NASA says it has become unsafe.

Rep. Andy Whitt of Huntsville disagrees and will be fighting to keep it. Whitt is a banker by profession, but like recent legislators who dabble in medicine, he appears to be a self-proclaimed authority in rockets or welding or something.

Doesn't our legislature make you proud?
