ICYMI yesterday: @GovernorKayIvey signed SB 71 into law, against the wishes of thousands of Alabamians. While this bill is very harmful, ARA and all of our partners across the state will continue our work to protect Alabama’s water, air, and land. #DefendRivers

Unfortunately, we just heard that the Governor signed SB 71. Rest assured this is not the end of this fight for our rivers. #DefendRivers

HERE'S OUR LAST SHOT. Please take one more moment and tell Governor Kay Ivey to fix SB 71 before it is law!

Despite enormous opposition from Alabamians across the political spectrum, the Alabama Legislature passed SB 71 yesterday.

@ConsideratePer1 Yes! From Alabama Reflector: The bill passed 68-34. Five Republicans — Reps. Jennifer Fidler, R-Silverhill; Bob Fincher, R-Woodland; Matthew Hammett, R-Dozier and Chris Sells, R-Greenville — joined Democrats to vote against the bill.

Tell Governor Ivey that her conservation and outdoor recreation legacy depends on exercising her executive amendment powers to fix the problems with SB 71!

Now it is up to @GovernorKayIvey to protect her legacy of promoting + supporting Alabama’s outdoor recreation assets – assets that provide tens of thousands of jobs, billions of dollars in economic impact, and that strengthen communities across Alabama.

After two hours of robust opposition, thousands of letters, and countless phone calls / meetings, unfortunately SB 71 passed. How did your House Rep vote?

@butchworley Thank you!

I really hope this idiotic bill doesn't make it out of the house. A perfect example of what is wrong with the entire system. Guy puts up a bill, written by the lobbying group who donated to his campaign, and it happens all the way to Congress and with both parties.
