Our neighbor to the north cuts taxes and gives huge tax breaks to industry. Then -- suprise! -- Alabama faces such a severe budget crunch that it must suspend all civil jury trials from April 29 until September 30. Lord knows Alabama has operated for a long time without a functioning system of justice, but this is amazing. Criminal jury will only be held "as needed" and court personnel will be laid off. Who really needs a court system, anyway?
The source of the problem sure has a familiar ring.
Bonus factoid!: Alabama ranks No. 1 in plant and animal extinctions.
