Legislature Wraps Up Special Session

By Associated Press

Montgomery, AL – The Alabama Legislature today (Friday) wrapped up its special session, approving a $400 (M) million dollar industrial incentive package designed to lure a German steel mill to Mobile County.

The package is also aimed at bringing other major industries to the state.

A 29-to-oh vote by the Senate completed work on the incentive package, which is a constitutional amendment that won't take effect unless approved by Alabama voters in a statewide referendum June Fifth.
