We're back in the studio covering the latest in Alabama government and politics. There's finally some good news for Jackson Hospital, which is the capital city's downtown medical center. Randy Scott has that story. Members of Congress are spending their August recess getting feedback from constituents. Jeff Sanders takes us to the Wiregrass for one such meeting. There's progress to report on the education front and our own Trish Crain will help break down the latest test scores and rankings. National security expert Michael Allen joins us to try to make sense of what's happening in the world from an Alabama perspective. And Virgil Chames promotes the upcoming battle of the bands in Birmingham.
