Alabama House weighs education funds and ethics bills
The House faces opposition to a death penalty bill and ethics reform as Ways and Means considers reallocating about 130 million in unappropriated funds to programs such as Medicare and highways. Rep. Morris pushes mandatory death for certain killings while Rep. Manley seeks strict financial disclosure for legislators and reporters. A separate plan would keep the Ethics Commission with added reporter income disclosure. Hospital security concerns and an escape at Bryce are noted, with steps to expand security and improve coordination across facilities. Trial for related suspects is set for September.
