[quote:Anonymous Coward 58776263:MV8yODQ5MDI2XzUwMDY5NTg1XzNERUE5MTJG] [quote:Anonymous Coward 64686681:MV8yODQ5MDI2XzUwMDY2NjI1XzlEMjBEN0FB] [quote:SLC:MV8yODQ5MDI2XzUwMDY1ODgwX0Y4RTQ5NEI=] [quote:Anonymous Coward 69081325:MV8yODQ5MDI2XzUwMDY1Njg5XzdDQ0NEQ0U1] Without getting into any Liberal vs. Conservative crap...anyone else think its ironic that its always the states who take most from the federal government who complain most about the federal government? Alabama would have a standard of living similar to Albania in the early 90s if it wasn't for the federal government taking taxes from the prosperious states, and redistributing that wealth. [/quote] "...a standard of living similar to Albania?" You do realize Mercedes-Benz North America is headquartered in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Right, my German friend? [/quote] You realize they are moving the headquarters lock, stock and barrel to Atlanta, right? http://www.ajc.com/news/business/mercedes-unveils-sandy-springs-hq-location/nj32y/ Alabama is a shithole. Home of the only in-ground hazardous waste landfill in America. It's the nation's dump. Everything is rusted and busted. Sure, you got a PF Chang's over in Vestavia, but that about it, yo. Total shithole. The ONLY reason to stop in Alabama is the Fish Market Restaurant in B'ham. ... Just a lil backstory so's you know my opinion is informed, I was once in charge of a remediation of a EPA superfund site outside of Birmingham. Before replacing the dirty soil, we had to test the replacement soil. I literally could not find ANY soil for sale that passed basic hazardous waste testing anywhere in Alabama. And you have the world's longest constitution. Why? It ain't because ya'll super smart. [/quote] If you couldn't find clean soil then you're an idiot and should have been fired...maybe you were and that's why you're bitter towards our fine state. Airbus is moving their facilities here and Hyundai is about as Alabama as boiled peanuts. Huge manufacturers do business here for a reason - we have a trained, competent workforce that values hard work and appreciates the opportunity. [/quote]
Original Message
"This is the second year HJR112, sponsored by Rep. Ken Johnson (R-Moulton) and cosponsored by 52 additional Republicans, has been approved by the House. Last year the resolution died in the Senate, but Rep. Johnson has high hopes that this year will be the year Alabama officially signs on to the idea of a Article V convention."
