Another one bites the dust! Now, let's hope the investigation into our governor & his $400,000 a year political adviser/sweetie have been up to with our tax dollars. FYI: The governor recently fired the state's top cop. Top cop says it was because he refused to perjury himself in the Hubbard case. Hot times in Alabama a'coming!
'A jury on Friday found Alabama House Speaker Mike Hubbard guilty on 12 counts of public corruption — agreeing with prosecutors' assertions that the powerful Republican used the influence and prestige of his political office to benefit his companies and clients.
The verdict automatically removes Hubbard, 54, from both the Legislature and the speaker's office, ending the upward trajectory of the one-time GOP star. He spoke briefly with his attorneys before being escorted from the courtroom by a sheriff's deputy.
"We hope this verdict tonight restores some of the confidence in the people of the state of Alabama that public officials at all levels in the state of Alabama will be held accountable for their actions, especially those that would betray the public trust," said W. Van Davis, the acting attorney general in the case.'
