No more COVID restrictions at Alabama Statehouse

When the Alabama Legislature meets for a yet-to-be-called special session in the next few weeks, it will apparently do so with few, if any, COVID-19 restrictions.

House Speaker Mac McCutcheon told Alabama Public Television’s Capitol Journal that he expected a special session to address the state’s prison issues before the end of the month.

On Monday, Statehouse officials said there are no planned restrictions at this time for that session, and they don’t expect any.

Pat Harris, the Secretary of the Alabama Senate, said that right now his only plan was to hang signs informing visitors that those who aren’t vaccinated need to wear a mask.

Nothing like having a special session become a super-spreader event.

Not the way I’d choose but what the heck, I’ll take what I can get. Maybe Florida will follow suit.

Time to let the murderous asses fulfill their wishes and kill themselves & others like them - while regular people stay far away. Alabama home games should be real breeders too, hopefully lots of pols will go.

They do not care about life - deaths can be prevented.

They do not care about the economy - the cost of protracted pandemic and huge hospital bills that should have been avoided

Right now, they just want either to a) deny the pandemic or b) make Biden look bad

How anyone can stay a Republican in this climate is beyond me…
