Good morning, Montgomery.

Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall said ex-Decatur officer Mac Marquette—a 25-year-old charged with murder—failed to show a clear legal right to prosecutorial immunity when he fatally shot Stephen Perkins and will face trial in September if the appeals court rules against him.

A Montgomery grandmother said her Ridgefield home was hit by gunfire on July 1 — the seventh incident in three years — leaving her and her husband in constant fear as bullets damaged windows and doors.

Electric vehicle purchases are rising in Alabama as nearly 8% of new car buyers choose EVs even though only 1% of registered vehicles are electric.

Michael Staley of the Alabama Clean Fuels Coalition said buyers save money on used EVs, benefit from tax credits & Alabama Power rebates, and often charge at home to cut fuel costs.

A circuit court judge ruled on Monday that Alabama utility regulators may hold closed-door meetings to decide if Alabama Power can raise rates, rejecting a lawsuit from the Southern Environmental Law Center on behalf of Energy Alabama.

The ruling came after a June hearing when the judge deferred to the commission’s rules—keeping the rate change process private.

U.S. Sen. Tuberville joined Agriculture Secretary Rollins and other officials on Tuesday to launch a National Farm Security Action Plan that will block China and other foreign buyers from purchasing U.S. farmland and timberland.

The plan aims to protect our food supply and boost supply chains (a USDA report showed nearly 2.2 million acres in Alabama are foreign-owned) and will work with states to increase oversight of farmland deals.

Montgomery secured the bid to host the 2026 DYB Division 2 Regional World Series at Lagoon Park, adding to a summer of record-breaking youth sports tourism.
