Summary
Erica Thomas of 1819 News joins Sean Sullivan on Midday Mobile for a rundown of some of the biggest stories affecting southwest Alabama. They discuss the impact of high diesel prices on Alabama farmers, trucking companies and consumers, including how transportation costs are being passed along through fuel surcharges. Erica also breaks down more than $12 million in federal recovery funding headed to Baldwin County communities for infrastructure projects tied to Hurricanes Sally and Zeta. The conversation also includes an update on the massive Dauphin Island Causeway restoration project, improvements underway at the Cedar Point boat ramp and what those projects could mean for coastal access and the oyster industry. Plus, meet “Officer Ray,” the Spanish Fort Police Department support poodle trained to detect stress—and hear Erica’s latest fishing report.
