Darrio Melton: Uncertainty killing growth, hurting our communities

  Over the past five years, Alabama has invested millions of dollars to bring businesses to our state. We have sent representatives around the world to declare that Alabama is “open for business” to recruit top-tier corporations to locate in Alabama.
