Lieutenant Governor Will Ainsworth joined with legislative leaders and military officers on Wednesday in order to highlight the importance of a package of bills that is designed to retain, protect, and improve the federal military presence and investment across Alabama.
The legislative package, which has already been approved by the State Senate, is the result of work by the Alabama Military Stability Commission, a panel that is chaired by Ainsworth and was created by state statute in 2011. The commission is comprised of several elected officials, cabinet members, and regional appointees from areas across the state with a heavy defense concentration.
