In October 2024, Gov. Kay Ivey used her "supreme executive power of this state" to unilaterally fire then-Alabama Department of Veteran Affairs Commissioner Kent Davis. Quite a saga led up to this unceremonious removal of the beloved ADVA commissioner, and many questions remain on whether Ivey has the authority to terminate a state agency head that serves at the pleasure of an appointed board of directors, in this case the State Board of Veterans Affairs. A similar situation arose in the COVID pandemic years when the state health officer, who acts as the head of the Alabama Department of Public Health, Scott Harris, came under fire for his tyrannical measures in response to the virus. The governor's office claimed there was nothing Ivey could do, as an appointed board of directors chooses the state health officer, not the governor. Ivey claimed her hands were tied, so much so that legislation was passed to give the governor some authority over who the state health officer is in case another pandemic or health crisis arises. The only conclusion that can be drawn from this is that Ivey had the authority to fire Scott Harris all along and chose not to, or she didn't have the authority to fire Kent Davis, but did it anyway. This week Bryan Dawson sits down with former ADVA Commissioner Rear Admiral Kent Davis to hear the entire story from his perspective. Overtime: War stories with Admiral Davis ... and they involve Hunter Biden!

1819 News: The Podcast has a unique episode for you this week! A few things have been getting under CEO Bryan Dawson's skin lately. Naturally, he sat down with Joey Clark on his radio show News and Views, which airs on Montgomery's News/Talk 93.1, to air some of those concerns. We thought the “radio rant” was too good not to share! Bryan and Joey's conversation begins with the discussion of Alabama State Health Officer Scott Harris' new appointment as the president of the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials. The public health organization has ties to George Soros and focuses on important topics like “health equity” and “dismantling white supremacy.” This brings out Harris' true colors – we all knew they were there – to the surface and reminds us that he should have been fired years ago. If you recall, Alabama was told Harris couldn't be fired because he was appointed by a board of health professionals and therefore did not serve at the pleasure of the governor. This situation was such a problem that bills were filed in the last three legislative sessions to give the governor the authority to fire the state health officer. Last session one of those bills finally passed. That stands in stark contrast to a recent move made by Governor Ivey to use her “supreme executive power of this state” to unilaterally fire a different state agency head who was also appointed by a board, Rear Admiral Kent Davis, the director of the Alabama Department of Veterans Affairs. Either Ivey had the authority to fire Scott Harris and refused, or she doesn't have the authority to fire state agency heads like Rear Admiral Kent Davis who are appointed by a board, but she did it anyway. Bryan and Joey's discussion turns from Ivey's actions to the lack of leadership in the Alabama House, Senate, and Governor's Office, which creates an environment where special interests reign supreme. The conversation brought into clear focus the reality that since the Alabama Speaker of the House has been under the heavy influence of political consultant Steve Raby, the House priorities have been an increased gas tax, medical marijuana, and several major pushes for full blown gambling. The last push for gambling included Medicaid expansion. It's unbelievable that these are the priorities of the Republican supermajority of a state House in the most conservative state in the nation! Finally, the “radio rant” ends with harsh criticism of local elected leaders such as mayors, county commissioners, and city councilmen who desperately seek reasons for why they can't do what is right and necessary, and that will allow them to pass the buck. Whether its Haitian immigrants being dumped into their cities or pornographic grooming literature in the children's section of their library, local leaders' mantra is too often the same: "Ain't nuthin' I can do!" Obviously, you'll want to give this episode a listen! Special thanks to Bluewater Broadcasting, News/Talk 93.1, and Joey Clark for allowing us to use the interview.

In this episode of Alabama Politics This Week, hosts Josh Moon and David Person discuss the current political climate in Alabama and the upcoming elections. They delve into the implications of the MAGA movement, its connection to historical racism, and the evolving nature of American cultural identity. Then, Josh and David interview Shamari Figures, a candidate in the competitive congressional race in southern Alabama. The conversation covers key issues such as healthcare access, economic opportunities, and the challenges of Medicaid expansion in Alabama. Figures emphasizes the importance of voter turnout and engagement. Finally, we delve into two significant political controversies in Alabama. The first segment focuses on the tumultuous relationship between Gov. Kay Ivey and Kent Davis, the head of the Department of Veterans Affairs, highlighting the complexities of authority and ethics complaints. The second segment shifts to the troubling case of Dennoriss Richardson, whose suspicious death following a police complaint raises serious concerns about police accountability and civil rights.
