Alabama State Senator

Am ready to try again to limit license plate readers on Alabama highways. The govt has no business monitoring its citizens as they move around the state or area. Hopefully my colleagues will recognize the importance of getting control of this technology before it’s too late!

[AlabamaFreePress @TheALFreePress]

Wonder how this compares to #Alabama?

Time to bring the issue back up during next #GoatHill session. In Alabama, license plate reader data is saved for FIVE YEARS. In Georgia for 30 months & Tennessee for 90 days.

Hope my colleagues will support bringing more transparency to campaign donations. Don’t let donors hide in the shadows. No more dark money!

Governor Ivey does a tremendous job today in HSV recounting the numerous accomplishments during her tenure. Improved education results, better infrastructure, record setting number of jobs created…. The list is long. She’s been a great partner in MGM these past 9+ years!

Stop corruption of public officials! Encouraged my bill to crack down on those who would abuse their public positions to enrich themselves has passed. Thanks to Rep. Reynolds for shepherding in the House. https://t.co/Mnfpq0CQPT

The Alabama House and Senate Education Trust Fund budget committee chairmen addressed the Business Council of Alabama’s Tuesday morning briefing, and discussed budget priorities, their working relationship, and the future of education in Alabama.

@SenatorAOrr and @DannyGarrett44 agreed that managing expectations will be a key challenge this session.

“The money has been pretty lofty, but now, with PEEHIP and other needs taking a large part of that, the capacity to maneuverability that we’re going to have is declining substantially,” Orr said.

“So the membership, they’re still thinking up here, and managing those expectations is going to be difficult.”

@faithinactional @GovernorKayIvey @DannyGarrett44 It’s been a team effort but we must continue pushing for improvements. With its focused funding streams, last year’s RAISE Act will add more velocity to our upward trajectory!

This is exactly why we passed my Teacher Bill of Rights bill into law in 2024. For far too long, school systems and their administrators compromised the educations of the many through leniency for the few—putting classroom teachers and their students in peril.

WOW. Students at Ross S. Sterling High School (@GCCISD) are PROTESTING against their school district, demanding JUSTICE after 16-year-old Andrew Meismer was stabbed to death during class.

Students claim that Aundre Matthews, who was charged with Andrew's m*rder, had a history of disciplinary action which the school repeatedly ignored.

They say Andrew's m*rder was PREVENTABLE.

Congrats to Huntsville and the State of Alabama!!

.@SenatorAOrr took aim at Montgomery city leadership and the state’s response to rising crime during a Friday morning segment on WVNN’s @TheDaleJackson Show, criticizing @StevenLouisReed over what he called the city’s failure to maintain law and order.

With the recent deadly weekend in Montgomery, Orr responded to questions about Reed’s latest comments on state gun laws.

Orr argues Reed’s narrative is a political distraction from deeper problems with the City of Montgomery.

“…This is Steven Reed just grasping at straws, trying to say something, saying anything, just to get people off his back,” Orr (R-Decatur) said.

“I talk to people in Montgomery, residents, be they from the Black community, White community. There is such a displeasure and ready for him to get out of public office with Mayor Reed. It’s getting palpable down there with the frustration with him and his do-nothing administration. People are ticked.”

Orr also criticized the amount of state taxpayer dollars being used to boost Montgomery’s law enforcement presence around the Capitol.

“It’s a shame that taxpayer money from Huntsville, Mobile, everywhere else is going to do the job that the city of Montgomery ought to be doing,” Orr said.

“We send millions, billions down there every year, and all the jobs that are created, the tax base, everything coming from the taxpayers around the state, and they don’t have the competency to protect their own citizens and have law and order. It’s pathetic.”
