The 2014 Election is in the rear view mirror and #Session2015 has OFFICIALLY started!
We at Southern Torch believe that the press is the "Fourth Branch" of government and it is our belief that the news media's responsibility to inform the populace is essential to the healthy functioning of the democracy. Southern Torch is going to overload you with information on the DeKalb County Delegation that includes five State House Reps and three State Senators. With trust in the government at an all time low, it is essential that the "good guys" be given the recognition and appreciation they deserve and the "bad guys" have their feet held to the fire. The only way to do this is with an informed electorate.
It is our promise that you will be the most informed district in the great state of Alabama.
