Politician Practicing What He Preaches
Proving that he’s a man of his word, Governor Bob Riley will bring his family to the Alabama state coast this Father’s Day weekend. Gov. Riley has been encouraging people to visit Alabama’s Beaches this summer, in spite of the oil spill that continues to threaten the tourism industry along the Gulf coast.
In addition to basking on the beach, Gov. Riley and his family plan to dine in local restaurants and shop at local stores. Said Gov. Riley, “So many Alabamians on our coast are facing extraordinary challenges right now because of BP. If people want to help them, there’s no better way than spending vacation time in our coastal communities.”
Way to go, Gov. Riley! More politicians should walk the walk after talking the talk. Hopefully the beaches will remain open and they won’t have to spend their holiday watching movies on DISH Network.
