Did you catch Capitol Journal?
We’re covering a hectic week in Alabama government and politics. Among the issues are IVF, DEI, school choice, childcare, higher education, gambling & more.
House Speaker Nathaniel Ledbetter joins me for an update on the session so far, with comments about the comprehensive gambling package, upcoming controversial issues and a potential plan to close the health insurance coverage gap.
We go in depth on the DEI issue, speaking with bill sponsor Sen. Will Barfoot and bill opponent Sen. Rodger Smitherman.
And I’m joined by Dr. Mamie McLean, an IVF specialist from Alabama Fertility to help explain that issue and what reaction has been from her patients this past week.
