Senate President Pro Tempore Del Marsh (R-Anniston) released the following statement regarding Governor Ivey’s announcement of the Safer at Home Order.  
 
“After consulting with the medical community and business leaders, it appears that we are starting to see a flattening in the curve of COVID-19 cases and that our hospitals will not be overwhelmed by those who contract the disease. I applaud Governor Ivey for taking the first steps to reopen Alabama for business. It was the right thing to do and I look forward to continuing to monitor the situation as we work to reopen all businesses in Alabama as soon as possible.”
 
“We can finally start to see light at the end of the tunnel, however as we work to reopen Alabama, the leaders of this state must lead. For this reason, I look forward to getting back to Montgomery as we work to approve budgets so we can provide some certainty to the education community and our state agencies.”
