This week's Views poll: The Alabama Legislature is done, so who's the year's biggest loser?

Do you think Alabama Lawmakers know what this means?
Anytime the Legislature meets, there are losers. Not lawmakers, of course. They rarely lose, unless it's a fight (re: Charles Bishop vs. Lowell Barron). No, the losers are the people. Many individual lawmakers are fine people. Or some are, anyway. But as a body, they are absolutely dysfunctional. Can't do much of anything constructive. I saw a local lawmaker in a grocery store over the weekend, and he was telling me about how this or that had been done. And the whole time I was thinking about this and that which hadn't been done -- and which would have helped so much: taking the sales tax off groceries; making the Jefferson County occupational tax fair; ending PAC-to-PAC transfers; ethics and constitutional reform. Whatever else we think, the Legislature, as a unit, is a loser.

So what next? Well, let's pick the real losers. That's this week's Views poll. The results and a selection of comments will be published in Sunday's Viewpoints section. But let's also remember: Next year is an election year. Do any of these people deserve to return to Montgomery?
