We are pleased that both major candidates for governor in Alabama, like us, support the renewal of Alabama Forever Wild as is.
According to an article in The Birmingham News today, both candidates for Alabama governor, Democrat Ron Sparks and Republican Robert Bentley said Thursday that they will support the reauthorization of the state land preservation program, Forever Wild.
Speaking at Samford University to a conference organized by the environmental group Auntie Litter, the candidates delivered speeches on a range of environmental issues.
Alluding to that proposal, Bentley said he supported reauthorization of Forever Wild in its current form and at its current funding level. Sparks, the state agriculture commissioner, didn’t mention the Alfa counter proposal, but said he supported Forever Wild’s continuation at its current level of funding.
