In the Weeds with Alabama Daily News Todd Stacy

It has been a while since Mary and I sat down to record a podcast.



It had been a pretty slow news week until the Trump verdict broke. We talk about how that will reverberate in Alabama, plus what can be discerned from the legislative session now that the dust has settled a bit.

It's the home stretch of the legislative session and, accordingly, Mary and I have a new pod out setting the table for the weeks ahead.



There's a lot to talk about, including what to expect on the budgets, tax credits and gambling.

A new episode of In the Weeds is out today!



Mary and I discuss a number of topics, including:



* the recent HD 10 special election and the national media reaction;

* what to expect when the Legislature returns next week, including on budgets, gambling, torts, ready-to-drink legislation and workforce;

* the Alabama congressional delegation's split votes on the recently-passed minibus appropriations package.

Todd and Mary celebrate being able to take a bit of a breather as the Legislature takes a week off for Spring Break. There's plenty of punditry to catch up on, though. They walk through what happened and what's next on gambling, IVF, school choice, the budgets, AL-1 & AL-2, and, of course, the fallout from U.S. Senator Katie Britt's national debut.

Todd and Mary are at a meeting of the Alabama Council of Association Executives. For those not familiar, that's the group of governmental affairs leaders that team up for regular updates on the state of affairs inside Alabama politics and government. In short, it's an insider crowd. And so there's perhaps no better audience to do the first live in-person recording of the In the Weeds podcast.



Today @MarySellQuillen & I were asked to do an issues roundup for the Alabama Association of Council Executives and we thought, why not record it for In the Weeds? It was lots of fun, even if my jokes were lame. Thanks for inviting us ACAE! Now to edit the podcast...#alpolitics pic.twitter.com/iq9nDRWO4q

Attorney General Steve Marshall comes In The Weeds to review the year that was from his office on a number of different issues: redistricting, the McCraney cold case conviction, the opioid settlement, criminal code revisions and more. We also look forward to discuss what's coming up next, including his involvement in the Trump immunity case before the Supreme Court and his legislative agenda for 2024. So as not to waste the opportunity, Todd slips in some questions about gambling and Marshall's political future.
