Jones calls for full disclosure, no secret deals, and mandatory stock sales by lawmakers with stakes in the industry. While Tuberville’s team deflects with his own community-focused plan—requiring local approval, full utility payments, and top-tier taxation—Jones argues this isn’t partisan; it’s a statewide voter concern that could shape the next election. The debate underscores Alabama’s urgent need to balance tech growth with accountability. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
