Sound like anyone you know?

Thanks to Steve Harrelson's Under the Dome blog for this: An Alabama legislator is suing because he didn't get free tickets to the Alabama-Auburn game.

In a long-standing custom, each legislator receives two tickets to the Auburn-Alabama game each year, along with parking passes.

I think if we had fewer of these long-standing customs--where legislators and their "constituents" swap money and influence back and forth--more of us would feel better represented.

I guess it's always been that way.

Does Oaklawn still distribute free passes? Those were the most coveted things, even more than an apartment in the Capitol View. And they were only worth $1. About the same as each covetous legislator.
