Alabama Legislative Session in 2012... Charter Schools, Jobs Bill, and Immigration Reform

Look for three major pieces of legislation in Alabama in the coming 5 months.

First Gov. Bentley will push the legislature for the state's first charter school system.

Also, Gov. Bentley will try and pass a bill that incentivises large corporations to relocate in Alabama, create jobs, and invest in the long term growth in the state.

Finally, the GOP controlled legislature will work to reform the well-intended but misguided immigration bill, HB 56.
