Recently, there has been a lot of hoopla about the nomination of Jacque Shaia as a candidate for membership on the University of Alabama System Board of Trustees. Many people are excited and are celebrating this historic nomination (Shaia would be the first UAB graduate to serve as a board member). Certainly, those who support this nomination will be watching her journey through the Senate confirmation process. Whether Shaia will be confirmed is a popular discussion in business offices throughout the state. Voter News Network learned that several very powerful political alliances have formed for the specific purpose of defeating her confirmation. This alliance believes that it has the clout to defeats Shaia's confirmation. This appointment will be one Senate item to watch.
