BIRMINGHAM, AL (WBRC)- Alabama lawmakers concerned about unmanned drones are looking to limit their use by law enforcement in Alabama.

A bill has been introduced in the state legislature regulating and restricting their use by law enforcement and other government agencies.

Last year the Gadsden Police Department unveiled their unmanned drones. At that time, Gadsden Captain Regina May touted the use of the drones especially in making drug busts.

She said the drones can also be used "also for intelligence and surveillance, in areas where it's hard to get there and see with your own eyes, without being observed."

Howevere, some Alabama lawmakers have concerns with the drones.

BIRMINGHAM, AL (WBRC)- Governor Bentley's press office says a lawsuit has been filed by the AEA to attempt to stop the signing of House Bill 84, the school accountability and flexibility bill.

Jeremy King with the press office says the Governor plans to sign the bill on Tuesday afternoon. He says the Governor feels the bill is necessary to give parents an alternative to a failing school.

AEA Executive Secretary Henry Mabry has sent a newsletter to members to ask Governor Bentley to veto the bill, which he says was rammed through the Legislature by Republicans. State School Superintendent Tommy Bice and Alabama School Board Head Sally Howell have both asked Governor Bentley to amend the bill and send it back to the Legislature.

Your taxes are probably going up, but not as much as they would have without a "fiscal cliff" deal.

That's the short summary of what's in store for US households now that a fiscal bargain between the White House and Congress has been reached.

The welcome news for personal pocketbooks is that most Americans will see no change in their income-tax rates.

But the amount of taxes paid will still rise, for two major reasons: First, workers will owe 2 percent more of their paychecks to the government in 2013 because Congress is allowing a temporary payroll-tax cut to expire. Second, tax rates are rising for households that earn more than $450,000.
