Two Alabama State Senators Flip Flopped on SB190

March 13, 2013 By Shane Vander Hart

No sooner than I published on Dr. Tommy Bice’s press conference yesterday a reader in Alabama informed me that there were two State Senators on the Alabama Senate Education Committee had changed their positions.  They were evidently swayed by Dr. Bice’s comments their actions  effectively killed SB190 in committee.

The State Senators in question were identified by this reader as:

  • Senator Bill Holtzclaw (R-Madison):  bill.holtzclaw@alsenate.gov (334) 242-7843
  • Senator Trip Pittman  (R-Daphne): trip.pittman@alsenate.gov (334) 242-7897

So If you’re an Alabama resident I’d encourage you to drop them a line or give them a jingle so they can explain themselves.

    Terribly, terribly upset that the GOP controlled Senate did not live up to their (so called) Conservative values. The AEA and State Board of Education have spent their $$$$ well!!

    Holtzclaw’s # is 334-242-7842 not 7843.

Campbell’s Law

"The more any quantitative social indicator is used for social decision-making, the more subject it will be to corruption pressures and the more apt it will be to distort and corrupt the social processes it is intended to monitor."
