A bill from Rep. Lea Fite in the State Legislature this session could ensure that every entity that receives state, county or municipal money and flies the U.S. flag, fly a flag that’s manufactured and purchased in the United States. Markeshia Ricks has this story.

Markeshia also has a story about another bill: The bill, that purports to bolster agriculture in Alabama is pitting farmer against farmer.Supporters say the Family Farm Preservation Act would protect them from city slickers who want their land for subdivisions, while opposing farmers say it will leave them with no recourse to fight confined animal feeding operations (CAFOs).What they all agree on is the need to preserve farming in Alabama.
