SO OUR CRISES COUNSELORS ARE HEAR TO LISTEN.

ANXIETY AS HAS BEEN PRESENT.

AS WE HAVE MARKED ONE YEAR AND COUNTING PEOPLE ARE DEALING WITH PANDEMIC FATIGUE.

AND MAYBE WANT TO JUMPED GUNNEL SO TO SPEAK.

>> THERE'S A LOT OF FATIGUE.

IT'S BEEN ONGOING FOR A YEAR NOW.

UP LIKE AN CUTE DISASTER.

WE'RE ALL DISASTER EXPERIENCING THIS AT THE SAME TIME AND FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME.

UNDER THE COMMISSION OF BRYAN HASTINGS AND OTHERS LOOKING TO SEEK OUT THE FUNDING NOT ONLY FOR THE SHORT-TERM FOR THE LONG-TERM EFFECTS.

>> JUST TODAY VACCINES BECAME MORE AVAILABLE.

BUT I WOULD IMAGINE TO SOME OR MANY THE SHOTS THAT WE'RE GETTING A LOT OF SHOTS IN ARMS, IT MAY REVIVE ANXIETY.

>> HOW HAS RESPONSE BEEN.

>> RESPONSE HAS BEEN TREMENDOUS.

PEOPLE ARE REACHING OUT.

AND JUST KNOW WE'RE HERE TO HELP.

PLEASE, IF YOU DON'T HAVE ACADEMY TO THE INTERNET OUR INFO I HOPE PALESTINE IS AVAILABLE AT .

.

.

>> THE ALABAMA APART TOGETHER INFORMATION LINE.

AND THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE FOR FOLKS WHO NEED IT.

>> THE OFFICE OF PLANNING, THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU'RE DOING.

AND "CAPITOL JOURNAL" WILL BE RIGHT BACK.

>> FLEX UP ON THE BROADCAST, TASH IS BACK WITH US.

WELCOME BACK.

I WANT TO BEGIN WITH MENTAL HEALTH.

WE HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH.

YOU HAVE A MENTAL HEALTH RELATED BILL IN THE LEGISLATURE THIS YEAR.

IT SAYS THAT K-125 EMPLOYEES MUST UNDER GO AWARENESS TRAINING AND IT WILL BE IN REVIEW TOMORROW.

>> IT WILL BE IN THE SENATE.

IT ALSO PASSED THE HOUSE COMMITTEE.

AND I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO GOINGS TO THE ♪ ♪ TOMORROW TO EXPLAIN WHAT THE BILL IS DOES.

>> IN ESSENCE, ANYONE THAT WORKS THREE K-12 SCHOOLS NEEDS TO HELP IDENTIFY AND RESPOND TO ISSUES.

>> WHEN WE HAVE JUDGE PEOPLE INSIDE OF OUR CLASSROOMS IT CAN BE MORE UNDERLINING ISSUES THERE.

BEING ABLE TO JUST IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM, BECAUSE A LOT OF TIMES IT'S JUST BEHAVIOR PROBLEMS AND IT COULD BE SOMETHING FROM HOME.

I COULD BE A CHILD BEING BULLIED.

IT COULD BE FROM SOMEONE HAVING A CHILD TOUCH INAPPROPRIATELY.

OR IT COULD BE A FAMILY MEMBER.

SO THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO SAY WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THEM.

SO GIVEN TEACHERS ANOTHER AVENUE TO IDENTIFY MENTAL HEALTH.

>> IT'S COMMERCIAL BECAUSE TEACHERS ARE IN VERY REGULAR CONTACT WAS THE CHURCH AND MAY NOTICE OTHER THINGS PEOPLE DON'T.

>> YOU'RE RIGHT.

ACTUALLY THEY'RE WITH HANDLES TEACHER FOR AFTERNOON SENTENCE A I HAVE PART OF THE KAY, FROM 7:30 TO 3 AND HAVING THAT RELATIONSHIP, A LOT OF THEM HAVE A RELATIONSHIP AND BEING ABLE TO OPEN UP TO THE STUDENTS WITH FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH WHAT IS THEM.

>> THIS COULD NIP IN THE BUD THE MENTAL ISSUES THAT GROW FASTER THAN THEY VIDEO.

>> RIGHT.

SOME THINGS TO THE POINT OF SUICIDE.

WE DON'T WANT TO SITUATED UNTIL AFTER A CHILD COMPLETES SUICIDE TO LEAVE A LETTER SAYING THIS WAS, BUT I DIDN'T KNOW.

THEN IT'S TOO LATE.

SO BEING ABLE TO STEP IN FRONT AND MAKING SURE THAT WE LOOK AT ALL OF THE UNDERLINING ISSUES.

>> THIS WILL BE IN THE SENATE DOME.

GOOD LUCK WITH THAT.

>> THANK YOU.

>> I WANT TO TALKING ABOUT A COUPLE OF YOUR ISSUES DEALING WITH CRIME.

IT'S AN ISSUE ACROSS THE STATE.

>> IT'S GROWING.

AND BECOMING NORMAL.

>> YOU HAVE ONE DEAL DEALING WITH AVAILABLE BAIL IS SET FOR MURDER BETWEEN THE FEES OF 15,000 TO 150,000.

AND I WANT TO MOVE THE NEEDLE ON THAT FROM 30,000 IS 1.5 MILLION.

AND THE REASON WHY 1.5 MILLION, I WANT TO MATCH WHAT THEY HAVE OPEN THE BOOKS ALREADY FOR MARIJUANA.

SO I ACTUAL THINK THAT'S A LITTLE TOO STEEP FOR.

HOWEVER IF YOU GET CAUGHT WITH A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF MARIJUANA, IT'S 1.5 UNTIL.

SO THE IT SHOW FOR MARIJUANA IT SHOULD BE MATCHED.

>> IS THIS IS A MESSAGE BILL.

>> IT'S A MESSAGE BILL THAT WE'RE NOT IN ALABAMA GOING TO KEEP TOLERATING SENSELESS KILLINGS IN OUR COMMUNITY?

>> WHO YOU BORED ARE YOU IN MONTGOMERY BUT OTHER STATES.

>> IT'S MIND BLOWING BOUGHT BEES PEOPLE DON'T HAVE ANY RESPECT FOR OTHER PEOPLE'S HIVE.

WE DON'T KNOW HOW TO PLANT COON CONFLICT.

SO THE FIRST THING WE WANT TO DO IS PICK UP A GUN AND SHOOT SOMEONE.

SO IF YOU DO THE CRIME YOU NEED TO BE ABLE TO DO THE TIME FOR IT.

THE MAIN THING THAT BOTHERS ME IS A LOT OF THESE YOUNG PEOPLE ARE PULLING THE TRIGGER.

AND THEY HAVE CHIRP THAT NEED TO GROW UP EITHER WITH OR WITHOUT PARENTS SO THE CYCLE WILL CONTINUE IF THERE'S NO GUIDANCE.

SO IT'S A DOMINO AFFECT.

AND IT'S GOING TO IMPACT EVERYONE.

NOT JUST A CERTAIN GROOM.

IT IMPACTS THE STATE OF PAM.

>> YOUR MOVE TO CHANGE THE BAIL FEE STRUCTURE HAS CHANGED IS A FEW EYEBROWS E WHAT REACTIONS HAVE YOU GOT FROM YOUR COLLEAGUES?

>> WELL, I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO GET A LOT OF WHY SO HIGH AS TO 1.5, BOUT THEY UNDERSTAND, ESPECIALLY THOSE THAT WORK IN CRIMINAL LAW.

THAT HE SHALL UNDER THE RECIDIVISM LATE.

ESPECIALLY FOR BONDS.

SO YOU WILL HAVE OF, ARE A FEW CASES WHERE INDIVIDUALS WERE RELEASED AND KILLED SOMEONE ELSE ON BOND.

THE BOND WAS JUST $150,000.

ONCE YOU PATE FOR CIRCUIT COURT IT CAN TAKE A YEAR?

FOR TWO YEARS?

SO WITHIN THOSE TWO YEARS AND IN ONE CASE IT WAS LIKE, EIGHT, NINE MONTHS AND THE INDIVIDUAL KILLED SOMEONE ELSE.

SO I TOOK FOR HIM TO TAKE A SECOND LIFE FOR HIS TO BE REVOKED.

SO WE HAVE ALL OF TO THESE.

AND NOW IT'S TIME DON'T HAVE US TO PUT IN PLACE THAT WILL SLOW IT DO.

>> WE WILL BE WATCHING WITH INTEREST.

>> ALWAYS TO PLEASURE.

>> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.

>> "CAPITOL JOURNAL" WILL BE RIGHT BACK BACK BACK IT.

>> NEXT UP, THE DIRECTOR OF THE TOURISM DEPARTMENT IS BACK IN THE STUDIO WITH US.

BACKING.

>> NICE TO SEY.

TOURISM TOOK TOOK A HIT HE EVER THIS ALABAMA.

AS TOURISM ALMOST NEVER ANYWHERE TOOK A HIT.

>> TOOK ABOUT A 20 PERCENT LAST YEAR.

BUT THAT WAS AMONG THE LOW PERCENTAGES NATION NATIONWIDE.

>> HAD A OF THE STATES WANT TO HAVE TREATED WITH US.

THE REASON THAT WE CAME OUT WITH ONLY THAT THAT KIND OF A DEFINE IT IS THE BEACH.

BECAUSE THE GOVERNOR OPENED THE BEACH ON MAY 1 LAST YEAR AND SCHOOL WAS NOT IN SESSION.

SO A LOT OF PEOPLE WENT TO THE BEACH IS IN MAY.

WE HAD 11 WEEKS OF THE BEACH.

USUALLY PEOPLE DON'T START FISCAL MEMORIAL DAY AND START GOING BARK EARLIER IN THE FALL.

BUT LAST-YEARIST SAVED OF THE REST THE STATE.

>> WE'RE HERE WE ARE A YEAR LATER.

OF THE STRING AND TOURISM SENATOR GETTING IN THE WAY AND I'M ZING THE TRAFFIC OFTEN INTERSTATE 65?

>> I'M TALKING WITH HERB MALONE AND HE SAID THE BEACH HAD A STRONG BREAK THIS WEEK.

>> HERB MALONE IS DIRECTOR OF TOURISM FOR THE BEACH.

HE'S WRAPPED UP 25 YEARS AS PRESIDENT OF GULF SHORES ORANGE BEACH TOURISM.

>> WE HAVE HAD A STRONG THREE WEEK OF BREAK.

>> WE HAVE.

THINGS ARE LOOKING GREAT.

SINCE PEOPLE GET THEIR SHOTS, THEY'RE DECIDING WHERE TO GO.

BECAUSE EVERYBODY HAS BEEN SO COOPED UP.

IT'S BEEN AT 53 WEEKS.

THAT THEN CAN'T WAIT TO GET BACKING ON THE ROAD.

A YEAR AGO, HOTELS WERE AT 30 PERSIAN OCCUPANCY.

YOU CAN'T KEPT YOUR DOORS OPEN AT 30 PERCENT.

THIS WEEK THEY'RE AT 65 PERCENT.

SO THE PANDEMIC IS OVER AS FAR AS HOTEL IN ALABAMA ARE CONCERNED.

SO WE ARE BETTER POSITIONED MORE SO THAT BE ANY OTHER STATE.

>> WHEN THE GOVERNOR REOPENED THE BEACHES IN MAY THE LAST YEAR AND PEOPLE STARTED RETURNING TO THE BEACH WE HAVE LEARNED A LOT MORE ABOUT THE CORONAVIRUS AND PEOPLE HAVE FELT A LITTLE MORE SELF ASSURED IN GOING TO THE BEACH IN A MEASURED WAY, BEING OBSERVANT MUCH SAFETY PROTOCOL AND ALSO THE BEING OUTSIDE.

>> PARTICULARLY WHEN YOUR AT BEACH, YOU'RE IN BRIEFS AND THE RISK OF BEINGS AND OF EXPOSED TO SOMEBODY WITH THE COVID IS THEY'RE SHEDDING ALL THE TIME.

IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THEY'RE SHEDDING IN A WIN THAT YOU SAY THEY'RE NOT GOING TO GET YOU.

>> BUT WHEN YOU'RE GOING TO THE RESTAURANTS OR BARS OR IN PROXIMITY EVEN THOUGH THE CASELOAD IS LOW.

IT WOULD WE LOVE US TO ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO STILL BE AS CAREFUL AS YOU CAN BE.

>> ABSOLUTELY.

AND I NOTICED THAT, A COUPLE OF TIMES I HAVE BEEN TO GULF STATE PARK LODGE.

IT LOOK LIKE -- IT WAS NOT MY NAME FAMILY UNITS AND IT WOULD BE BURN FAMILY, LIKE FAMILIES AND A COUPLE OF FAMILIES COMING DOWN.

IT DIDN'T SEEM TO BE WITH OTHER GROUPS.

SO THAT'S BECOME THE SAFE WAY TO DO IT.

>> AT THE HEIGHT OF THE PANDEMIC LAST YEAR HE, WE HEARD ABOUT OTHERS NOT SURVIVING OR LIVING TO SEE ANOTHER TOURISM.

WAS IT AS BAD AS IT WAS PROJECTED TO BE IN TERMS OF SMALL BUSINESS SURVIVAL.

>> I THINK THAT IS STILL OUTDOOR.

I HAVEN'T SIGN ANY FIGURES LATELY BUT RESTAURANTS WERE HIT ACROSS THE WORLD.

THAT'S WHY WE WERE DELIGHTED TO SAY THE LEGISLATURES MOVING ABOUT THE DELIVERY OF ALCOHOL WITH SOMEONE VOCATIONAL REHABILITATION DAY CARE.

>> RESTAURANTS ARE A KEY COMPONENT.

>> THAT'S THE LARGEST AMOUNT OF EMPLOYEES.

ABSOLUTE.

>> THIS ARE FRIDAY, THE STATEWIDE MASK MANDATE WILL END.

GOVERNOR IVEY IS STILL ENCOURAGING OTHERS TO -- BUT DID THE MAP DATE PRAY AT ALL INTO THE TOURISM CHALLENGES?

>> I CAN'T HEAR OF IT BEING A REAL PROBLEM LIKE IN FLORIDA AND OTHER STATES.

AND I THINK IT'S FUSS BECAUSE THE GOVERNOR DID A GREAT JOB OF EDUCATING PEOPLE.

SO I THINK IN ALABAMA IT DIDN'T BECOME A POLITICAL ISSUE.

I THINK PEOPLE WERE TRYING TO DO WHATEVER IT TOOK TO KEEP THEIR FAMILIES AND LOVES ONCE FROM BEING AS RISK.

>> I WANTING TO BAG TO FIGURE YOU QUOTED AND WHERE WEAVER LAST YEAR AT BEACH IN TERMS OF WHERE WE ARE NOW.

>> WELL, EVERYBODY IS READY FOR YOUR RESERVATION.

THERE ARE A FEW PLACES THAT HAVEN'T RESERVED FROM HURRICANE SALLIE.

BUT APPLY MILLIMETER MORAL WE BELONG WEEKEND EVERYBODY WILL BE BACK.

>> AND NOW WE'RE AS 635 PERCENT SO WE'RE COMING BACK.

>> LEE SENTELL, MR. SENTELL THANK YOU FOR BRINGING US THE GOOD NEWS.

AND "CAPITOL JOURNAL" WILL BE RIGHT BACK.

>> DON: AND THAT'S "CAPITOL JOURNAL" FOR TONIGHT.

COMING UP TOMORROW NIGHT AT 10:30, WE'LL HAVE THE LATEST FROM THE STATEHOUSE, INCLUDING SENATE COMMITTEE PUBLIC HEARING ON A NEW OPEN ENROLLMENT SCHOOL BILL.

WE'LL BE JOINED BY ALABAMA HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR DR. DON WILLIAMSON, WHO'LL DISCUSS OUR COVID HOSPITALIZATION RATE BEING LOW AT THE MOMENT, AND HIS FEARS THAT IT COULD INEVITABLY SPIKE AGAIN.

AND REPRESENTATIVE SHANE STRINGER OF CITRONELLE AND REPRESENTATIVE BRETT EASTERBROOK OF FRUITDALE WILL BE WITH US TO TALK ABOUT THE INCREASING DANGERS OF A HIGHWAY IN THEIR DISTRICTS AND EFFORTS TO ADDRESS THE SITUATION.

FOR ALL OF US AT "CAPITOL JOURNAL," THANKS SO MUCH FOR JOINING US.
