Steve Flowers: Inside the Statehouse: Recapping the Republican gubernatorial primary, Part II

  Bradley Byrne’s bold challenging of Paul Hubbert’s omnipotence on Goat Hill was like waving a red flag in front of a raging bull. As we said last week, Hubbert’s fiefdom is to completely control the education budget and policy. That is his sandbox. He does not mind allowing the governor to play in his sandbox because after all he is the governor. However, he thinks it somewhat rude and arrogant if you come to play in his sandbox and kick sand on him.
