Bentley's Second Term
Republican Governor Robert Bentley has embarked upon his second term with his swearing-in Monday. WVAS News asked Alabama State University Political Science Professor Dr. Birdie Larkin about her expectations from this administration. She believes Bentley will not deviate from the agenda of the super majority. One area Dr. Larking thinks the governor might shift his stance is Medicaid. Last month Bentley did say he was willing to consider a state-designed program that used federal Medicaid expansion dollars to increase coverage. But the plan would include the private sector and require people to work.
