MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - A $500,000 bill to remodel offices for
five state legislators and several staff members is drawing
criticism from other legislators who see it as a poor example in
tough economic times.
State Rep. Richard Laird is the former chairman of the
Legislative Building Authority, and he says other authority members
approved the expenditure. But the new chairman, state Sen. Roger
Bedford, said they didn't approve the leather and marble
furnishings, and he wants to try to return them.
The remodeling stems from the flooding of two floors of the
Statehouse in May. The remodeling was recently completed, and Laird
and four other House members moved into the space. It includes a
kitchenette and shower.
