Bentley's Home Damaged
The recent freezing weather really hit home with Governor Robert Bentley. Bentley said that his private home in Tuscaloosa has an estimated $50,000 dollars in damage after a water pipe froze and burst in the attic. Bentley said the water damaged ceilings, walls, carpets and hardwood floors, all of which have to be replaced. But Bentley said he's got good homeowner's insurance and his residence needed to be renovated anyway.
