Alabama Historical Commission Audit 3-21-05
The long awaited audit of the Alabama Historical Commission came out last Friday. The audit reveals much of the corruption of the AHC that I have been talking about. I'm happy that the citizens of Alabama can now see for themselves what has been going on. I know some people have believed that the AHC couldn't be as bad as we have said. The audit speaks for itself. Please read the audit. Here is the Associated Press newspaper article about the audit. http://www.montgomeryadvertiser.com/NEWSV5/storyV5HISTORICAL0319W.htm
Here is a link to the complete audit, go to the audit reports dated March 18th. http://www.examiners.state.al.us/
I hope Governor Riley will take action to bring this power hungry rogue agency under control.
My Trial
Erskine and I went to Selma last Friday to find out if my trial was going to begin today. The District Attorney asked for and received another continuance on my trial. We tried to prevent a continuance but were unsuccessful. My trial is now scheduled for August 1st so I will have to cut my Alaska trip short or come home and then go back. I think the court wants to wait and see if we change the law but I wanted to go ahead and have a trial. We are in a good position to change the law now after the scandal of this audit. Please keep asking the legislators to support SB128 and HB125. The floor vote should come up within the next three weeks.

Spence, Mark and I will be escorting our group of 22 divers to Truk Lagoon this Saturday. We will be diving hard on the best shipwrecks in the world. Wish you could all go with us but maybe you could go next time.
