Discussing legislative issues
Members of the Legislative Committee of the
Association of County Administrators of Alabama
covered a lot of ground in their policy discussions
last month. They issued recommendations related to
employee benefits, inmate reform, online sales tax,
open records, election administration and ethics.
Recommendations from all five ACCA affiliate groups
were forwarded to the Association’s Legislative
Committee for consideration.
Announcing big economic development news
Gov. Kay Ivey helped Sumter County celebrate in early
October, tweeting “What an exciting day for West
Alabama — Enviva has chosen to invest
$175 million to construct a wood pellet production
plant in Sumter County, creating 85 new jobs!
Thank you @EnvivaBiomass for
choosing to be #MadeinAL!”

Lock It Up
Never leave your devices unattended. If you need to leave
your computer, phone or tablet for any length of time —
no matter how short — lock it up so no one can use it while
you’re gone. If you keep sensitive information on a flash
drive or external hard drive, make sure to lock it up as well.

Practice Safe Clicking
Always be careful when clicking on attachments or links in email.
If it’s unexpected or suspicious for any reason, don’t click on it.
Double check the URL of the website that the link takes you to: bad
actors will often take advantage of spelling mistakes to direct you
to a harmful domain.
