There appears to be a positive story buried in this report. Alabama is moving in the right direction and the main reason we are ranked so low is the fact that we have been putting off necessary maintenance of personnel and infrastructure to ensure a sound footing for government. We all know that that procrastinating is going to bite us someday and this report is concerned with the someday. Alabama government is not setting itself up to be successful in the future, not so much from poor management, but from a denial of the realities of the future. Maybe reports like these will help change that tide, but not when the full story is covered up under headlines of poor management.
