Alabama lawmakers have a lot on their plates when they return from spring break on Tuesday. The list of issues ranges from the state budget, to a proposed lottery, gas tax hike, a pay raise for teachers, and the possible impeachment of Governor Robert Bentley. The Governor says he’ll veto a general fund budget he's says has inadequate Medicaid funding. Legislators have said they intend to override his veto to enact the spending plan. Bentley threatens to call a special session, if they do that—assuming he’s still in office. Republican House member Ed Henry of Hartselle says he’s bring articles of impeachment against the Governor over recordings of inappropriate comments to a chief aide. Rebekah Mason resigned shortly after Alabama’s former top cop, Spencer Collier released the tapes to the press. Bentley says he won’t resign from office.
