Story on Lt. Governor James Folsom Jr.
« on: June 18, 2010, 02:51:52 PM »
I've gotten a lot of PM's of support and congrats since my last Editorial, along with some members asking me to post one of my stories. Yesterday, I had the chance to interview and speak with former governor and current Lt. Governor, James Folsom Jr. Below is a small clip of the story, along with the link.

NOTE: I know this article has political overtones as Mr. Folsom is currently running for the re-election for the Lt. Governor office, but please note that it is in no way a political endorsement or an advocacy for Mr. Folsom's campaign. He was making a campaign stop in Jasper and I would have happily extended the same amount of coverage to his opponent, Ms. Ivey or any candidate that campaigns in my area. His visit and Mr. Folsom just struck me on a personal level as he and his family were very close friends with several members of my family.

Lt. Gov. Jim Folsom Jr., who is seeking re-election as a Democrat, made a campaign stop on Thursday at Ryan’s Family Steakhouse in Jasper.

He spoke with supporters about his plans on continuing to add more commercial and industrial opportunities for the state.

Folsom, the incumbent, was unopposed for the Democratic nomination, and will in November run against Republican nominee and current State Treasurer Kay Ivey.

“I’m running again because over the next four years, we’re going to have to have some serious leadership in the Senate.” Folsom said. “We have a lot of divisions right now in the legislature that prevents us from coming to solid solutions, but we’ve done some good things in this past session that benefited our state and this is what I want to see continue happening for the good of our citizens.”

The oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico and its current and future effects on the state has become a prominent issue for Folsom.

“The Gulf oil spill has had a devastating effect on the economy of our state.” Folsom said. “It’s a very serious issue. I’ve been down there about five times to take a look first hand and it’s going to take strong leadership for us to deal with it and help us get everything moving in the correct course of action.”
