This evening, Alabama
Democratic Party Chairman, Judge Mark Kennedy, responded to Governor Bentley's State of the State address.
"All
the rhetoric in the world wouldn't be enough to hide the truth from
Alabamians. The truth is that Governor Bentley continues to
fail to lead our state and, worse, his party--which has made clear that
partisan politics will continue to come before the most pressing issues
facing Alabama.
As
a result of his failure to lead, it's clear that we are now facing yet
another session dominated by extreme legislation targeting
women, children, the poor and the elderly and policies aimed at lining
the pockets of Republican fat cat donors.
Tonight,
its more clear than ever that Alabama needs a Governor and leadership
in the State House that cares about the future of the
state--not just upcoming elections and ensuring money making
opportunities for a select few."
