Plan to take $30 Million Away

A lawsuit has been filed to stop Alabama lawmakers from passing a bill to hijack $30 million supposed to go to services for the deaf and blind. The Alabama Dual Party Relay Board oversees the collection taken from landline phone customers. But the bill, if it becomes law, would send all the funds to education. The board is privately run and has overseen the fund for more than a decade.
