Elmore County Legislative Day at the Statehouse

Today Senator Chambliss hosted a group of Elmore County elected officials and County Department heads at the Alabama Statehouse.

We had an opportunity to spend time speaking with our entire legislative delegation and to attend a committee hearing where Alabama Department of Corrections Commissioner Jeff Dunn was one of the speakers discussing the proposed Prison Reform Bill that will be considered by the legislature this session.

For those that may not be aware, if passed, the effects this Prison Reform Bill could have on Elmore County are huge. Elmore County is home to more prisons than any other county in the state and has a large number of A.D.O.C. employees that have a very large economic impact on our county. Rest assured there is an ongoing effort to protect the best interest of Elmore County.

We appreciate Senators Chambliss and Brewbaker and Representatives Holmes, Ingram and Beckman for taking time out of their busy schedules to be with us.
