When it comes to death penalty cases, Alabama is among the only states not to provide death row inmates with legal representation for a crucial appeal. Reporting by @rchapoco of the @ALReflector

Alabama Reflector bsky: @alreflector.bsky.com @ALReflector

Via @rchapoco: Almost alone among death penalty states, Alabama does not guarantee an attorney to a defendant at a critical stage in the appeals process. That can make it impossible to raise legitimate issues over a conviction. https://t.co/4Snvzw4k2z #alpolitics

The latest of a three-part series by @rchapoco of @ALReflector on the impact of taxes, fines and fees on consumer’s finances.

Alabama Reflector bsky: @alreflector.bsky.com @ALReflector

Alabama's low taxes don't make government any less expensive. They shift the burden to fines, fees and charges, and to those least able to pay. All the stories in @rchapoco's three-part series, The Fee Trap, can be found here: https://t.co/hvcsWlzhxL #alpolitics https://t.co/PEYfBVojuU

In this Sourhern state, the burden of funding law enforcement is moving from gun owners to car owners and people in the criminal justice system. Story by @rchapoco of @ALReflector

Alabama Reflector bsky: @alreflector.bsky.com @ALReflector

Via @rchapoco: The Alabama Legislature last year effectively turned off a major source of funding for sheriffs in the state. Local governments have turned to car fees, court fees, and even people in jail to make up the difference. https://t.co/DEHKt3drGr #alpolitics

Here's how government in one state is raising much of its revenue -- through fees and charges, as opposed to property taxes. But the impact of fees can fall heaviest on those least able to pay. Reporting by @rchapoco of @ALReflector

Alabama Reflector bsky: @alreflector.bsky.com @ALReflector

Via @rchapoco : Alabama's local governments collect almost twice as much per capita revenue from fees as they do from property taxes. Legislators approved new local fees last spring, but some experts wonder how sustainable the system is. https://t.co/ifQNSLYdr3 #alpolitics

THREAD: I started reporting on this story more than a month ago, maybe a week after Gov. Ron DeSantis signed SB 1718 on May 10. I heard immigrant workers were leaving the state out of fear of the new law, so @alicia_c_devine and I drove around the Florida Panhandle to ask around
