💨 Abstract

In Montgomery, Alabama, Birmingham city officials have sued Governor Kay Ivey to prevent a bill that would give control of the state's largest water board away from the city and to surrounding suburbs. The bill passed last week and is now on the governor's desk. The lawsuit alleges the move constitutes racial discrimination and violates the equal protection clause, the voting rights act, and both state and federal constitutions.
