The 2025 Legislative Session has begun and we here at 1819 News have it covered for you! We have more reporters than anyone else covering every aspect of what is happening in Montgomery with a dedicated House reporter and Senate reporter, as well as an Editor who is filling in the gaps and doing a radio show from the statehouse. As citizens of Alabama, each of us has a responsibility to keep an eye on our state government and to make our voices heard. The flip side of that is the fact that many in state government prefer the citizens turn a blind eye to what they’re up to at the Capitol. They want you to believe the press releases and stump speeches talking about how great everything is in the state. Indeed, they prefer you to be the dog in the burning house meme where the dog is at the table and the house is engulfed in flames and he says, "This is fine." At 1819 News, we shine the light, pursue the truth of what is going on in Alabama’s government, and keep you informed with easily digestible content. Today is no different as CEO Bryan Dawson and 1819 News Editor-in-Chief Jeff Poor discuss Governor Ivey's invigorating state of the state speech and dive into a preview of what they expect in this legislative session. Here's a quick preview: We have Democratic reps pushing for tax cuts and Republican municipal leaders looking to increase taxes, ALFA is looking to compete in the healthcare insurance front, and there are some immigration bills likely to come our way. Will the energy President Trump is creating in DC translate to major changes in Alabama? Don't hold your breath, tune in to find out why we don't think so. OVERTIME: Trump's first 14 Days.
