 I’m excited to be in Alabama next week for a fundraiser for my dad, but whenever I ask anyone from there what's going on in the state this is all they talk about.  Why's their senate refusing to let the people vote on a clean bill to legalize the lottery & fund education when 45 states already do it? Wouldn't they rather keep the billions of $$$ in Alabama instead of sending it to other states? Makes no sense to me!
