The conversation begins with the peculiar situation surrounding Alabama Republican Party Chairman John Wahl (or Nehemiah?), including questions about his residency, use of different names, and a past incident involving a fake ID to vote.

Next, they delve into the recent legislative session's failure to pass a comprehensive gambling bill, examining the potential reasons behind the stalled legislation and the impact on economic opportunities for the state.

Finally, the show tackles the controversial actions of Decatur Mayor Tab Bowling, his public disputes with a city councilman, and the ongoing scrutiny of the Decatur Police Department's conduct following recent incidents.

Alabama Politics This Week is sponsored by Wind Creek Hospitality. Gaming is the heart of Wind Creek Hospitality, but they offer so much more. Wind Creek's 10 distinct properties in the U.S. and Caribbean — including four in Alabama — provide world-class entertainment, dining, hotel stays, amenities and activities. As the principal gaming and hospitality entity for the Poarch Band of Creek Indians, Wind Creek continues to grow and offer guests luxurious destinations and opportunities for escape.

We take a bit of time each week to answer questions from our audience about Alabama politics — or Alabama in general. If you have a question about a politician, a policy, or a trend — really anything — you can shoot us an email at apwproducer@gmail.com.

You can also send it to us on Facebook and Twitter. Or by emailing us a voice recording to our email with your question, and we may play it on air. Either way, make sure you include your name (first name is fine) and the city or county where you live.
