One of the most famous scriptures in the Bible says, “Pride goeth before destruction, and haughtiness before a fall.” That scripture kept running through my mind this past week as Gov. Bentley repeatedly claimed that he knows the people of Alabama “better than anyone” and that they are not interested in impeaching him.
That is a bold claim to make, and one that is also easily proven wrong.
Gov. Bentley didn’t seem to know the people of Alabama so well when he was proposing $700 million in tax increases last year. The governor wasn’t listening to the people of Alabama when he signed legislation that transferred $80 million out of the education budget.
Gov. Bentley certainly didn’t seem to know the people of Alabama earlier this year when he called for putting the state in a 30-year, $800 million-$1.5 billion debt to build four new “super prisons” for murderers, rapists and child molesters.
No, I don’t think Gov. Bentley knows the people of Alabama very well at all.
