In Their Words
What they have said, on the record
““Last time you guys had an increase was 2006, 20 years. Let me tell you right now, the cost of living in the state of Alabama has gone up in the last 20 years, and you, the retirees, hit it first.””
““I grew up in rural Alabama. I am not a career politician. I’m a farm boy, and I’m proud of that.””
