From Montgomery Advertiser:
Republican Party leaders say Democratic state Rep. Terry Spicer should resign from the Legislature if he accepts a position as schools superintendent in Elba in southeast Alabama.
The Elba City School Board voted unanimously last week to offer the superintendent’s position to Spicer. He said Wednesday he is in contract negotiations with the board.
Spicer serves on the House committee that approves the state education budget.
Alabama Republican Party communications director Philip Bryan said it would be a conflict of interest for Spicer to run Elba schools and at the same time vote on state funding for the system.
