3/28/2016 Group Watch: Governor Fires ALEA Secretary
Last Tuesday, Governor Robert Bentley announced the removal of Alabama Law Enforcement Agency Secretary Spencer Collier, just hours after an internal audit suggested a “possible misuse of funds.” Collier is a former state trooper and was a Mobile County legislator from 2002 to 2011. In a brief statement, Governor Bentley commended Collier for overseeing the consolidation of ALEA operations over the past several years. Bentley announced that acting ALEA Secretary Stan Stabler has been promoted to the job on a permanent basis. Bentley said that Stabler is a veteran law enforcement officer who has more than 30 years in law enforcement. The events that unfolded in the days after Collier was terminated have been heavily covered by several media outlets, and you can find out more about it from several sources online.
