SUMMARY: Former Alabama Veterans Affairs Commissioner Kent Davis is filing a lawsuit after being removed from his position by Governor Kay Ivey following a state board meeting. Davis’s attorney, John Saxton, argues that the governor lacked the authority to dismiss him since he was appointed by the board, not Ivey. The governor cited reasons for the termination, including alleged manipulation of the board and mishandling COVID relief funds. Saxton believes the lawsuit could reinstate Davis. The dispute highlights the challenges regarding state appointments and the governor’s powers in such matters.

SUMMARY: As temperatures drop, many insects, especially stink bugs, seek warm indoor shelters for winter. In Jefferson County, pest control expert Darnell warns that even small gaps, like a tenth of an inch, can allow these pests inside. While stink bugs don’t bite or carry diseases, they can be unpleasant and release a strong odor when threatened or squished. Darnell advises homeowners to spray pesticides around their homes and seal windows and doors to prevent infestations. If stink bugs do enter, remove them carefully to avoid the smell. Infested homes may attract these pests year after year.

A tenth of an inch is all the need to get inside.
