Terri Collins (R-Decatur) emailed members of the State Board of Education to encourage them to keep interim Superintendent Philip Cleveland, “a few more months to work on efficiency and effectiveness of the department and the programs.” But what Collins calls “efficiency and effectiveness of the department and the programs,” is part of a larger, darker plan to wrestle control of public education away from the State’s elected Board.<br /><br />“The goal is ultimately is to put both K-12 and post-secondary under the Department of Commerce, because they see education as workforce training,” said an anonymous source with close ties to the education sector. In fact, several current education experts have privately stated the same, while at the same time accusing Gov. Robert Bentley of being a “useful tool,” for Billy Canary and former Gov. Bob Riley.<br /><br />Speaking on background, a former BCA member said, “BCA wants its hands on education, and Riley wants his money in the till, and amazingly, Bentley is their useful tool.”Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-11364807669717640442016-07-05T17:39:32.738-05:002016-07-05T17:39:32.738-05:00Thanks for your research, @8:47.

Hubbard was part of the team that put this ethic bill into law and they said 2 to 20 years on each count. No one seems to care when we send off sick people with drug problems for 20 years but now we care about this guy with 12 felonies charges? There is no way to put a number to the damage Hubbard did to the state, plus he called out the states top cops as being the bad guys in all of this. Even still he will not man up to what he did to us and that in itself should call for at least the minimum 2 years for each 12 counts = 24 years. I fear that justice is not blind down here in Bamaland and because of who he was he will be entitled to special treatment. If he does not do at least 12 years in the state pen, everyone will see this for what it is.

I've been a prosecutor. I would have asked for split sentences but then asked they run consecutive. Now the Judge is in a position to accept their recommendation. They showed their hand and asked for a minimal sentence. Better to have asked for more and let the Judge give less. <br /><br />You were right about al.com position about this being a long sentence is bs. <br /><br />I would venture a guess that the Judge takes the State's recommendation. Should he go longer then he will be portrayed as the villan. That's why I think the State should have asked for a longer sentence. Them let him reduce it some.<br /><br />Also looks like under this sentence he may stay out on an appeal bond since it is a sentence less than 20 years. Hubbard may not see a prison for many years. A 20 split 5 could have eliminated that. The 18 is a strange number likely done to benefit the defendant.
