Alabama Department of Veterans Affairs

A bill moving through the state legislature could give the governor the power to appoint the head of the Alabama Department of Veterans Affairs. The move comes after a public feud between the Gov. Kay Ivey and the former commissioner.

Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey has defended her decision to fire the state veterans commissioner after a state board refused her request to do so. Ivey briefly spoke with reporters Tuesday after a speech to a Montgomery civic club.

Gov. Kay Ivey says she is using her authority to remove the leader of the Alabama Department of Veterans Affairs. Ivey sent a letter to Commissioner W. Kent Davis saying he was immediately removed from the position.

The commissioner of the Alabama Department of Veterans Affairs is resigning following criticisms from Gov. Kay Ivey. Commissioner W. Kent Davis on Monday submitted his resignation which will be effective Dec. 31. Ivey last week asked Davis to resign.
