Ivey’s call for Davis’ resignation comes weeks after he had filed an ethics complaint against Kim Boswell, head of the Alabama Department of Mental Health, claiming she and others were “colluding” to keep the ADVA from receiving $7 million in funds through the American Rescue Plan Act, according to the Alabama Daily News and Lagniappe. The complaint against Boswell, who is a member of Ivey’s cabinet, was ultimately dismissed.

In addition to calling for Davis’ resignation, Ivey also dismissed John Kilpatrick from the State Board of Veterans’ Affairs. Kilpatrick was mentioned in Davis’ complaint about not being able to receive funds for his Vets Recover clinic in Mobile.

Davis is resolute that there has been no malpractice on his part and explains a whole lot of things have been done, done well, with more to do in the future.

“I respectfully disagree with the inaccurate claims made against the Alabama Department of Veterans Affairs this week. We have continuously been transparent in our department’s mission and day-to-day operations in our service to Alabama’s 400,000 Veterans. This includes earlier this year when ADVA attempted to work with members of the Governor’s staff, cabinet, and the Department of Finance regarding American Rescue Plan Act funds. At no time did our actions jeopardize the State of Alabama in fulfilling its obligations of the $2.1 billion in ARPA funds.
“This has been an outstanding year for the ADVA as we have completed the first planned expansion of the Alabama State Veterans Memorial Cemetery at Spanish Fort and next week will dedicate our fifth State Veterans Home, which is named in honor of Congressional Medal of Honor Recipient and Alabama native Bennie G. Adkins. We will continue to support Alabama’s Veterans and their families by assisting them with benefits they have earned, finding housing for homeless, seeking non-profit assistance for funding, and providing referrals for mental and physical health care.
 
Backbiting by fools slurping at the public trough.

It's disgusting but that's what we always seem to get when the D's are in power.
 
So are Dick and Liz Cheney. What's your point?

Democrats are not in power in Alabama.

What's your point? That fools aren't slurping at the public trough? That they aren't backbiting? What?
 
That whatever is going on in Alabama, the Republicans in charge are responsible.

So it's those dam Republicans? That's your point? Not the backbiting? It doesn't bother you at all that people are engaging in retaliation? Just that they're Republicans?

You have problems much larger than I thought.

It’s unclear what the issue in Alabama is. It may be backbiting or a whistleblower calling attention to cronyism in the governor’s office. But whatever is going on, it doesn’t involve Democrats.

Are you sure about that? Or do you know that the whistleblower is an R too?

Anyone else notice that since the gun thread purge the trumpers that have remained seem compelled to be extra dishonest and crazy in their interactions?

You forgot to call us racists too.

So, yet another fuckup on your part in your continual push to troll the board.

They seem to have dialed up their intellectual dishonesty "all the way to 11" to use the famous Spinal Tap metaphor.
They seem increasingly irate and combative, not unlike their fading Republican presidential candidate.
 
It's a familiar pattern, a whistleblower files a complaint of corruption. The buddies of the subject of the complaint decide that their buddy is a good 'ole boy, nothing to see there and fire the whistleblower.

It's the MAGA way.

May I remind you of Alexander Vindman? Or is that too much for your itty bitty comprehensive skills to encompass?

I'm still waiting for you to come up with all of those racist posts you claim that I've been making. Your research skills are letting you down, or you were lying again.

Which is it?
