Alabama Senate Delays Filibuster Threats With Remap Debates
In Montgomery the State Senate advanced several bills amid redistricting tensions and looming conflicts. A pay raise for solicitors passed the Senate and moved to the House, with raises proposed at 9700 and 15000 for different roles. Court reporters gained a raise but funds require cross-chamber approval. A 900000 library bond for Alabama A and M, a Black college near Huntsville, cleared the Senate for the governor. The University of South Alabama funding path won approval after debate, with previously pledged city and county support in Mobile. The Senate opened early to push through measures before potential filibusters, aiming to send as many bills as possible to the House before trouble erupts.
