Alabama governor

Alabama Senate President Pro Tempore Greg Reed is stepping down and joining Gov. Kay Ivey’s administration. The governor’s office announced Tuesday that Reed will serve as a senior adviser and lead an overhaul of the Department of Labor.

The application period for the Governor’s Office summer internship sessions with Kay Ivey is soon coming to a close. Designed to provide insight to college students who want to learn more about the executive branch of state government, the program offers students a realistic overview of routine activity within a government office.

Legislation to reduce Alabama’s sales tax on food will reduce the state’s 4% tax on groceries to 3% on Sept. 1. The tax will then drop to 2% on Sept. 1, 2024, but only if tax collections to the Education Trust Fund rise at least 3.5% to offset the loss.

Alabama Governor Kay Ivey has been sworn in for her second full term as governor. Ivey had been lieutenant governor, but automatically became governor in 2017 when then-Governor Robert Bentley abruptly resigned amid an impeachment probe. Ivey won the office in her own right in 2018 and again in 2022.
