The General Fund had strong results in FY 2024, with its 7% increase over the prior year, while the Education Trust Fund advanced just 2% after being essentially flat in 2023. For both funds, the years of exceptional growth should be over, with moderate annual increases on the horizon. While the economy remains strong, boding well for sustaining growth, some difficult decisions may have to be made in the future. Read PARCA's full report here: https://lnkd.in/gdJV6MFq

Alabamians have one more week to apply for an absentee ballot for the Nov. 5 election. The state spells out a narrow set of circumstances in which a voter can request to vote absentee. 36 states do not require voters to provide an excuse for voting absentee. And Alabama is only one of four states in the country that doesn't allow for any early in-person voting. Read more on how Alabama democracy compares in PARCA's report, supported in part by Alabama Citizens for Constitutional Reform (ACCR). https://lnkd.in/gJA3BZ4d
