Excellent article. Glad to see us going on the media offensive again with the BOT.
It's so blatant, but they've been allowed to run rough-shot over so many people for so long that there is literally no one with power who will stand against them.

There is also the probability that "the people with power" are in league with the leadership of the state and the system BOT. It's not that they won't stand against the BOT as much as it is likely they agree with them particularly about B'ham and anything in it.
Sometimes it seems there is a "limited allotment culture" in Alabama that says that if one is to improve, another part must be diminished. Good education in south Alabama can only be had by diminishing education in north Alabama. Blazer football can only succeed at the expense of Crimson Tide football. A parent can only love one child without sacrificing the love for the others. Is this the result of being a poor state with (self imposed) limited resources for improvement? This week we will see if the General Fund Budget can only be sustained at the expense of the SETF.
