This week is spring break for school children and college students throughout Alabama. The state’s lawmakers are taking a break, too. After dealing with the legality of electronic bingo, funding for road projects, and charter schools, legislators return to Montgomery next week for the second half of the 2010 session. To find out more on the issues that dominated the Legislature before spring break and what’s left on the agenda, WBHM’s Bradley George spoke with Sebastian Kitchen. He’s political reporter for the Montgomery Advertiser. Kitchen says in the first half of legislative session, gambling took center stage. .
