Alabama State Senator Scott Beason (r. racist Gardendale) has been stripped of his power to exercise racism in the Alabama Legislature!
H/T The Locust Fork News-Journal
One of the main sponsors of Alabama’s strict new immigration law, Republican Senator Scott Beason of Gardendale, was quietly ushered out as chairman of the Senate Rules Committee on Tuesday in advance of the next session of the Alabama Legislature.
Senate President Pro Tem Del Marsh said Senate Majority Leader Jabo Waggoner of Vestavia Hills will lead the Rules Committee for 2012, according to the AP.
Marsh claimed the Republican leadership made the change for “the most efficient operation of the Senate,” although there is little doubt the move came in the wake of all the ongoing controversy since Beason wore an FBI wire in the gambling corruption case and referred to customers of a casino in a predominantly black county as “aborigines.”
Now if only the voters in Gardendale would quietly usher Scott Beason out when they go to polls on election day we will be well on our way to having a more perfect state legislature.
