90.3 WBHM Birmingham– The Alabama Accountability Act has been controversial since the night it passed the state legislature in 2013. What started as a
school flexibility bill morphed into a way to give tax credits and scholarships to students to attend different public schools and private schools. But late Monday the state Supreme Court upheld the law. WBHM’s Dan Carsen caught up with Trisha Powell Crain of Alabama School Connection to talk it over. Crain starts with a brief overview of the Act, and some concerns:

YouTube is the latest social media company to pay Trump tens of millions of dollars to resolve lawsuits brought before he returned to power. The money will fund a new ballroom at the White House.
