  • Politics and Our Utility Rates

    Marcia Chambliss|Dec 1, 2013

    Several years ago, I was introduced to former Mobile Press Register reporter Eddie Curran, author of The Governor of Goat Hill, and after purchasing his book, I’ve been eagerly waiting for Curran to sink his teeth into another investigative journey regarding Alabama politics.

Liberals and s...
