Todd's rules are stay with the subject area. Guess you've never read President Barack Obama's C.V.; but then again you probably don't know what that is.

We've done very well under President Obama, so put some honey in your coffee and sweeten your sour puss up a bit.

Sad, to see the suffering of so many, because of the poor choices of so few.

I meant exactly what I said. Schools get money from taxes, and grants!!!

I am interested in those that are no longer able to care for themselves......

Senior citizens - and the children who are handicapped, as well as others that can no longer work due to poor health.

Seems like the schools are in force, and we do not have a lottery YET

Yes, we agree on prayer......

I would not put a dime into education schools ........Just put prayer back into the class rooms, and the schools would be able to stand alone.

What do you mean by you would not put a dime into education ??? Why Not ??

Personally, I am in favor of putting PRAYER back into public schools. However, PRAYER ALONE will not Fund the Educational System , in any state. Thus, the Schools WILL NOT be able to Stand Alone

Actually from what I understand about obamacare... The feds would have covered medicaid for three years, after that the States are on their own. In the meantime, medicaid enrollment in those States would increase many times leaving the States with an even bigger budget problem. The problem isn't money for medicaid, its way too many poor people in this country. What has obama done to alleviate that problem

I could care less about Gov. Bentley's sex scandal. wording on the legislation should be worked on (pronto) and get the lottery on the ballot to be voted on this November. I do believe getting the wording right is what they are being paid for.

I am only interested in the good of our great state.

Hello, I am new to the site, and have an opinion concerning the lottery.

I am in total agreement with Gov. Bentley. The lottery would help the state of Alabama.

There are people going into Georgia every day to buy tickets. Have bought a few myself

Why are a certain few opposing the lottery? This state would do well if we the People had a chance to vote on it.

The money should be set aside for the elderly, and those that are not able to help themselves.

I would not put a dime into

Governor Bentley has some serious legal problems and a sex scandal to deal with, but regardless of his problems, it was the wording in the legislation causing the meltdown.

Well maybe if he wasn't so hard-headed about Medicaid funding his state would not be in the predicament it is in. Too many politicians dead set against President Obama and the Affordable Care Act. The funds were available but you, like a few others, said 'No'.

After going back and forth during a special session of the Alabama Legislature, Friday, lawmakers declared the lottery bill dead.

That means you won't have the chance to vote for or against a state lottery this November.

Governor Robert Bentley's frustration was evident this weekend during an interview with local media. He said lawmakers standing in the way of what he calls Alabama Progress should be ashamed of themselves.
