The very conservative business group "The U.S. Chamber of Commerce" has issued a report card on the states that gives Alabama miserable grades.
The BEST the state gets is a "B" for hiring and evaluation.
Could there be a connection with the recent report showing Alabamian businesses and individuals paying the lowest taxes in America? We do a poor job of funding education to start with, and now the Great Recession has us slicing away at that rate. Imagine what the grades will be if we stay at this level of funding for a few years.
Look at what we do with money when we do get it.
