More than one-third of this year's legislative session is behind us as Friday marked Day 22 of the 60-day legislative session in Kentucky. The General Assembly delivered the first bill to clear both chambers to the governor this week.

Georgia Congressman (and APCI member) Buddy Carter was on CNN discussing Martin Shkreli and prescription drug pricing.

On Tuesday, February 2, the 2016 Regular Session of the Alabama Legislature convened in Montgomery. As I mentioned in last week’s update, it is ironic that the Regular Session began on Groundhog Day because not much has changed from last year as it took three attempts to pass a General Fund Budget. Additional revenue is needed to help fund state government, but there is no willingness to do what is needed to generate more money.

With Alabama’s 2016 regular session set to begin on Tuesday, February 2nd, I thought I might give a little preview of what we might expect or not expect.
