Good morning, Montgomery.

Two Montgomery business owners are hosting a barbecue fundraiser to repair their store after it was heavily damaged by last week's fire.

On Saturday, the Montgomery Oyster Festival returned to Old Alabama Town where hundreds tried fresh oyster dishes from local and regional chefs and enjoyed live music by Electric Blue Yonder and B-B Palmer.

Renowned chef Wesley True served a special dish — proceeds benefited the Landmarks Foundation to support historic preservation.

Capitol Journal reported a busy week in Washington as Alabama’s congressional leaders worked on new laws while experts talked about cutting repeat crimes, supporting mental health, honoring truck drivers, and aiding farmers+ poll numbers may guide what comes next.

Sen. Arthur Orr proposed draft legislation for the 2026 session to create a new public corruption crime for officials who embezzle funds or misuse confidential information.

The bill sets penalties that can be misdemeanors or felonies and requires convicted public employees to forfeit retirement contributions—measures aimed at curbing misuse of public funds.

Today the state capitol held its annual POW/MIA Recognition Day ceremony — honoring military service members listed as prisoners of war or missing in action.
