Gubernatorial candidate Bradley Byrne opposes Baldwin school tax plan | al.com: "Gubernatorial candidate Bradley Byrne said Friday that he will vote against an extra sales tax in Baldwin County that would go to public schools.

Byrne, of Montrose, said he opposes the 1-cent tax, which is designed to help the Baldwin school system meet a $4.8 million budget shortfall. The countywide referendum is Tuesday.

Byrne's opposition to the tax plan is significant not only because he is one of Baldwin County's most prominent politicians. He's also a former member of the
Alabama State Board of Education and has long been active in Baldwin school affairs."
