The Alabama Senate finally passed its version of the Alabama Department of Veterans Affairs (ADVA) restructuring bill, now the House is poised to take it up with little to no additional changes.
On Wednesday, the House Veterans and Military Affairs Committee once again delayed voting on legislation reforming the Alabama Department of Veterans Affairs, making the ADVA commissioner a cabinet position and changing the State Board of Veterans Affairs role.
Despite receiving many amendments, the Alabama chapter of the Military Officers Association of America still opposes the legislation designed to restructure the Alabama Department of Veterans Affairs as lawmakers are anticipated to vote on the bill this week.
What kind of government do we have in Alabama – a constitutional republic in which even the governor is under the law, or an all-powerful state in which the governor is above the law?
