Unfortunately, there are many issues that didn’t make it in the regular session and weren’t addressed in the special session. Some of the items of unfinished business are:

Campaign finance reform;

Passage of the “Exxon Bill;”

Taking the sales tax off groceries;

Constitutional reform; and

Reform of Alabama’s Workers’ Compensation Laws.

There will likely be at least one more special session before November. If so, at least some of the left-over business can be tended to. I would like to see a session with one subject in the call in order to isolate that one issue. Such a session would make it impossible for the special interest lobbyists to hide behind other issues in order to defeat the one issue they are being paid to kill.
