State Senator Says Bentley Breaking the Law with Gulf State Park Spending
MONTGOMERY—Firebrand Senator Paul Sanford (R-Huntsville) added an amendment to the Gulf State Park Project appropriations bill that sets a deadline for funding. It reads, “If the State of Alabama does not receive or has not been awarded any National Resource Damage Assessment funds or Restore Act funds for the purposes of this chapter by December 31, 2015, this chapter is repealed on January 1, 2016.”
The deadline passed without the BP settlement money being available, which voided the act.
“What they are doing is breaking the law based on the amendment that was attached to the Convention Center bill, said Sen. Sanford in an interview with the Alabama Political Reporter. This belief is shared by Charles Grimsley, who is suing Bentley.
State Auditor Jim Zeigler recently join the suit to intervene in what he calls Bentley’s “Pet Project.”
