A few weeks ago, the Alabama House Judiciary Committee dropped a report detailing a bunch of awful things former Gov. Robert Bentley did.
There were tales of affairs, of intimidation, of misusing power, of misusing State resources, of acting above the law and of flaunting his overreach of power.
But that report didn’t include one thing: the worst thing Robert Bentley ever did.
Because the worst thing Bentley ever did had nothing to do with sex or campaign finance issues.
It was that time he tried to destroy a State university – Alabama State University.
It was announced on Tuesday that the long-running State investigation into alleged fraud at ASU had been closed. A Grand Jury had declined to return a single indictment in the nearly five-year investigation that cost taxpayers more than a million dollars.
The investigation was, by any measure, a colossal failure and significant waste of State time and resources.
