Good morning, Auburn. Here's your local news at a glance for Wednesday, the 9th of April.
EDUCATION NEWS
- ➤ Auburn United Campus Workers will rally at Toomer's Corner to demand better wages for AU employees. The workers say higher pay will help the university improve lives through education (research and service) as they carry out crucial daily tasks. Opelika-Auburn News
GOVERNMENT NEWS
- ➤ Herbal Oasis by cbdMD, Inc. will try to expand its THC seltzer sales to grocery stores, convenience stores and bars in Alabama if lawmakers allow it. The House Committee on Health will vote on HB445 today— a bill that may restrict sales—so the brand’s growth could be delayed. AL.com
- ➤ The Alabama Department of Revenue said taxpayers in federally declared disaster areas or facing weather delays from Hurricane Helene can file state tax returns by May 1 and request penalty relief when they provide proper documentation — the IRS also postponed its federal tax deadline for affected individuals and businesses — urging calls to designated assistance lines. AL.com
- ➤ The Health Committee approved an Alabama bill that would give the Alcoholic Beverage and Control Board control over hemp-based products by limiting sales to licensed stores—setting a 7% excise tax and requiring child-resistant packaging with clear labels. Sponsored by Rep. Andy Whitt, the bill will be considered by the full House later this week as lawmakers work to curb access to products that may appeal to minors. AL.com
