%%EOF 1 priority is “protecting the health, safety, and well-being of all Alabamians, and that very much includes keeping the economy going as much as possible.”In reacting to Ainsworth’s letter on Thursday, Maiola said, that it “only reinforces the actions of her task force, and the governor intends to continue taking a measured and practical approach regarding both the gravity of the virus and also keeping the economy alive.”Ivey, asked to react to Ainsworth’s letter on Friday, provided the more forceful criticism.Singleton, the Senate’s Democratic minority leader, said it’s healthy to have multiple viewpoints publicly expressed during the pandemic.“I applaud him in forcing his opinion and how that’s he’s stepped up, and he’s the second person in command in the state, it may (inspire) other folks to look at his position,” said Singleton, who butted heads with Ainsworth last May during a Senate debate over the state’s near-ban on abortion. Ainsworth’s opposition further fueled the opposition movement, and the project was ultimately declared “dead” later in the month.In Alabama, the lieutenant governor is elected separately from the governor. 200 0 obj <>/Filter/FlateDecode/ID[<7916B37B3DE77140B87E01FEA2028ECC><2B1BD20B3415624A80B35D55961E6D3E>]/Index[179 33]/Info 178 0 R/Length 102/Prev 144046/Root 180 0 R/Size 212/Type/XRef/W[1 3 1]>>stream %PDF-1.6 %���� endstream endobj startxref h�b```��l� �����߯7�6�n```T>+tP��������.�������A H^gx�`�8�1�1�����I�����I��E��S_0�0ؚl�hdg`�c ��Sn7�a'�4 R0 ��� Ainsworth, a strong supporter of the ban, gaveled down two amendments that would’ve added rape and incest exceptions into legislation, “It is good for the members of the leadership who have different trains of thoughts on this,” he said. Tate Reeves, “This view of economic growth and public health as being at odds with one another is disturbing,” said Blanton, who said Ainsworth’s approach is “much more in line with what medical experts are recommending” and that it offered a “reset” in the state’s approach toward dealing with COVID-19.Ainsworth first talked about COVID-19 on March 17, when Ainsworth used a similar strategy in August to announce his opposition to a proposal, backed by Ivey, The toll plan was pushed by the Alabama Department of Transportation, but was widely opposed by coastal Alabama residents who flocked to social media to express their disapproval of having to pay tolls to drive on an existing interstate. According to Ainsworth, the statewide stockpile is only 1,344 ventilators.“I believe that the public’s safety and simple common sense demand that we create a formal plan to double or triple hospital capacity and also provide for adequate staffing levels,” Ainsworth said. On Friday she said every part of the state does not have the same needs or issues, that Grove Hill is not Gadsden, Dothan is not Decatur.Singleton added, “It would be good if we all sat down and made those decisions together.”Indeed, it’s unclear if Ainsworth and Ivey have directly talked about the COVID-19 response together, though the governor’s response hints at a lack of communication. I imagine she’s not running for re-election. Will Ainsworth is trying to ring the alarm on coronavirus.Ainsworth’s letter was written one day after Ivey, during a news conference, said the state needed to balance public health with the economy, echoing a statement of President Donald Trump, who was pushing to open portions of the U.S. economy by April 12.The letter from Ainsworth was received well by lawmakers, and it was praised by Democratic U.S. Sen. Doug Jones.Alabama Senate Minority Leader Bobby Singleton, D-Greensboro, also praised Ainsworth’s stance as being “good for the state.”Senate President Pro Tem Del Marsh, R-Anniston, said Ainsworth’s concerns were similar to his own views. Several Alabama Democratic Party leaders, including Singleton, have called on Ivey to issue a “shelter in place” order, which she has thus far refused.
