ALDOGE w/ Alabama Policy Institute's Stephanie Smith

The Department of Government Efficiency has been the primary topic in the national news cycle since Jan. 20th.

You may have thought to yourself, Alabama needs a DOGE. Well, you're in luck because the Alabama Policy Institute (API) is working on that exact thing with ALDOGE.

API has been around for over 35 years working towards limited government, free markets, and strong families in Alabama. Now they have a unique opportunity to replicate the national trend of identifying and eliminating waste and abuse in government.

This week Bryan Dawson is joined by API President and CEO Stephanie Smith to discuss ALDOGE and other things going on in our state government.

You might be surprised to find that under Gov. Kay Ivey, the combined state budgets have doubled with surpluses nearly every year since she has been in office. A budget surplus means they took more money from you than you needed.

You might also be surprised to find that a lone Democrat, State Rep. Anthony Daniels, is working to cut taxes for working class families, while those in leadership positions in our Republican supermajority are working to end tax cuts on overtime but issuing tax cuts to athletes in their NIL deals.

Take a listen to this week's podcast to find out what is really going on in your government.
