In
May 2003, the LWVAL
Convention authorized a study with the aim of updating the
League’s information about legislative procedures and
practices. ...In conducting the
study and in preparing this Facts and Issues, the study committee
adhered to LWV standards for accuracy, objectivity, balance, and a fair
representation of all major points of view....
The
League of Women Voters offers this publication
in the
belief that the information has the potential to increase understanding
of the legislature among League members and the public. The
League’s goal is to
promote the active and informed participation of citizens in
government.
Both legislators and citizens testify to their need for better
communication with each other. Better understanding of the
legislature is one tool for building the trust and participation
necessary to raise the levels of expectation and accomplishment in
Alabama.
