Episode Details

After decades of operating out of a cramped, outdated highway department building, Alabama’s Legislature is finally getting its own dignified home — a sleek, six-story State House set to open early next year. Funded by the Retirement Systems of Alabama and paid off over 25 years by the Legislature, this $400 million project overcame political skepticism, including past concerns from Governor Ivey, thanks to bipartisan cooperation and key leadership from figures like Jo Bonner and Bill Poole. Construction is on track, with chambers for both House and Senate on the same floor — designed to boost efficiency, public access, and the credibility of Alabama’s government. It’s not just a building; it’s a symbol of progress and institutional maturity.
