    If you text and drive it's a matter of WHEN and not IF you will be involved in an accident. The odds are stacked against you when your eyes and hands are more focused on your cell phone than they are

    If your commute includes I-85 in the mornings I'm sure you've noticed men alongside the roadways picking up trash and road debris and thought to yourself "who would want to do that?"

MONTGOMERY, AL (WSFA) - Our editorial suggesting ways to deal with the unfunded liability for state employee pensions and health care didn't sit well with state workers. 

One emailed "I find your comments appalling.  I am in middle management and find it quite hard to keep up with the growing health care cost.  I can only feel for the lower level state employees with children.  I don't know how they keep up." 

Another viewer emailed: "State workers already share the burden.  Not having a raise in years is a huge burden for the workers!  Good grief what else do you want them to give?" 

Regarding our "Conference Alignment" editorial, a viewer emailed " I also think Troy football would do well in Conference USA but you can't miss the forest from the trees.  While Troy's football facilities are on the level of a major conference, other men's sports such as basketball and baseball are still not on a BCS conference level.  Many of the other sports programs other than football and baseball Troy are not even competitive in conference.  I think Troy University  should upgrade their athletic facilities while working to be competitive in all major men's sports before making a move to a major conference."
