Alabama Governor Robbed Citizens Of Millions In Oil Spill Money To Rebuild Beachfront Mansion

Showing a reckless disregard for the needs of his state’s people in favor of corporate bosses and his own fancy, Alabama’s Republican governor Robert Bentley is renovating an abandoned 7,500 square-foot governor’s mansion with money left over from 2010 BP oil spill settlement. An estimated $1.5 to $1.8 million of grants from the settlement in the Deepwater Horizon spill will be used to cover the costs of refurbishment. Such a blatant pillaging of funds intended to serve the public good for extravagant private use is downright shameful, especially given that the local communities, industry, and environment along Alabama’s Gulf Coast continue to suffer the effects of the enormous oil spill.

The mansion in question, located on the beachfront in Gulf Shores, AL, was built in the era of famed racist governor George Wallace, and served as a secondary governor’s residence until it was damaged by Hurricane Danny in 1997 and subsequently abandoned. Bentley has claimed that his decision to renovate the property has nothing to do with the fact that he recently lost two nearby beachfront properties in a messy divorce. That divorce was the result of widely credible rumors of an affair between Bentley – who hypocritically couches his opposition to abortion and gay marriage as a belief in “family values” – and one of his staffers.

"Donald Trump and his GOP brethren may be the fascists du jour, but they would be considered raging extremist outliers if not for Ronald Reagan and a veritable parade of conservative fascists setting the conditions for their Trump types to succeed. Fascism, especially in a liberal democracy like America’s, takes time to get a firm grip on the population and for the past thirty or so years Republicans have conditioned the population to accept the inevitable destruction of their liberal democratic society"
