flag Alabama’s public election reform bill for its Public Service Commission is dropped due to lack of support and poor communication.

flag A bill to end public elections for Alabama’s Public Service Commission has been dropped after failing to gain enough legislative support, with Senate Pro Tempore Garlan Gudger citing a rushed process, narrow focus, and insufficient public information. flag Though promoted by some as a way to boost minority representation, key sponsors opposed it, calling it poorly timed and under-communicated. flag A recording of Alabama Power’s lobbyist discussing the bill with a clean energy group fueled controversy, though the utility never endorsed it. flag The bill’s removal follows concerns over high utility rates and governance, but Gudger confirmed the legislature remains open to addressing energy affordability through new, publicly supported solutions.
