Legislators have work to do

The legislative session has begun and by all accounts, it’s expected to be an uneventful year. The only goal lawmakers seem to have is to pass the budgets and go home. Yet, there is a lot of work that can and ought to be done instead of just kicking the can down the road for the next legislature. Rep. Craig Ford represents Gadsden and Etowah counties in the Alabama House of Representatives. He served as the House Minority Leader from 2010-2016.
