Challenges of Government Resource Allocation and Infrastructure Management in Alabama

1819 News has no problem calling out both bad actors and bad things in state government. That being said, we think it is just as important to highlight good people doing good things.

This week 1819 News CEO Bryan Dawson sits down with State Senator Chris Elliott who has consistently been a strong voice for good in the Alabama Senate. That includes being a “no” vote, despite tremendous pressure, on the terrible gambling legislation last session.

In this podcast you will hear about how Sen Elliott got into politics as well as some of the things he's working on this session.

From reeling in occupational licensing and out of control state agency boards to speaking up for veterans and sensible infrastructure spending, Elliott is consistently doing what's right no matter the push back.

Dawson and Elliott also discuss prison conditions as well as the mismanagement of building new prisons and how that can be fixed moving forward.
