FROM THE COVER County Days at the Legislature Begin January 31 LAUDERDALE MADISON JACKSON LIMESTONE COLBERT A s an important part of ensuring that the Alabama Legislature is constantly hearing from “67 Counties, One Voice,” the Association will once again be hosting County Days during the 2018 Legislative Session. Each county has been assigned one day to come to Montgomery and “walk the halls” to help make sure all your legislators are aware of – and supporting – the interests of county government when considering legislation. All county commissioners and all key staff are encouraged to participate and join us at the Statehouse on your day. An overnight stay should not be necessary. The schedule begins at 11 a.m. in the ACCA office with lunch and a briefing from ACCA staff. Participants will receive a notebook with up-to-the-minute information on the status of ACCA and Danger Bills. At noon, the group will walk down the hill to the Statehouse for lobbying and afternoon committee meetings. There is no registration fee for County Days, but ACCA will get a head count for the day to facilitate lunch. More details will be distributed as each County Day draws near, but please get this date on your calendar and make plans now to participate in this important event. For any legislators that your county would like to meet with, you are encouraged to contact the legislators at least one week in advance of your County Day to make sure they will have time to meet with you. n LAWRENCE FRANKLIN MARSHALL MORGAN DEKALB CULLMAN MARION CHEROKEE WINSTON ETOWAH BLOUNT WALKER Jan. 31 CALHOUN ST.
