David Money is a
Twitter all-star — having
tweeted more than 9,000
times since 2012! He uses it to
advocate for counties and quickly
inform Henry County citizens of road
closures, but it’s not all business.
The Alabama Crimson Tide is

On June 6, 2019, Governor Kay Ivey signed the Senate
Bill 315, which updated the Alabama Underground
Damage Prevention Law. The purpose of the
Underground Damage Prevention Law is to safeguard
against injury and loss of life due to excavation or
demolition and to protect underground facilities
from costly damage and the interruption of utility
or other services to the general public.
Please visit our website at www.al811.com to
download the law or the Excavation Manual
which also includes the new legislative changes
that will become effective on January 1, 2020.
“I hardly qualify as a pro but my
advice would be:
1. Think before you type,
especially if you are reacting
to something emotional
or controversial.
If in doubt — don’t.
2. Be positive. No one wants to
follow a ‘Debbie Downer’ or a
‘Charlie Critic.’
3. Refrain from off-color
language or commentary.
4. Read more than you post;
you can learn much more
by listening.
5. Proof your tweet before
you post it. Accuracy is more
important than speed.”
