No college pay for politicos, Riley says- al.com
Brett Blackledge followed up his two-year college story about Gina Bailey McKell yesterday by covering the Governor’s speech in Prattville to the two-year college presidents.
Riley said he believes arrangements like McKell’s no longer exist in the system, and they shouldn’t. “I’m not aware of it, but that doesn’t mean it may not be true,” he said.
Riley urged college presidents during his speech Tuesday to look forward as they help rebuild the state’s two-year system in the wake of ongoing scrutiny and a federal criminal investigation. He said they will become bigger players in the state’s efforts to recruit businesses because of the work-training services their campuses provide.
“At some point, every one of us is going to have to put the past behind us,” he said. “I want you to begin to embrace change.”
