Accountability or Politics at the Statehouse and Connections in High Places at UAB

The Alabama House of Representatives passed two bills this week affecting children.

State lawmakers like to talk about accountability and keeping tabs on the taxpayers’ money.  But keeping tabs on money can also be a tool of politics and influence.  Two key members of the Alabama House have introduced a bill that Alabama Media Group columnist John Archibald says even though it’s ostensibly about accountability, politics is not far behind.  He also talks about a position at UAB created last fall for a friend of Senior Vice President Shirley Salloway Kahn — a position that pays $28,000 a month.
