Montgomery, Alabama

Gov. Kay Ivey has delivered her annual State of the State Address as the Alabama Legislature begins its 2024 session. She made the speech Tuesday night inside the Old House Chamber at the Alabama Capitol.

“We’ve kicked the can down the road too long,” he said. “All we are trying to do is put a good package together that allows the citizens of Alabama to decide what they want. Ultimately, their votes decide.” “My goal is to put us on a trajectory to make our program fully universal, while also maintaining our full and total support for public education,” Ivey said.

Democrats have expressed concern about using public dollars for private schools, while some Republicans may want a more sweeping proposal. A rival bill introduced Tuesday, similar to the one introduced last year, would establish a more sweeping program that would provide up to $400 million in vouchers.
