Slow burn

The Alabama Fire College Foundation scandal that's been simmering since late 2004 may be about to ignite as a federal grand jury hears testimony about what happened to $300,000 of state money sent to the private foundation that later built a house for the college's director. It'll be interesting to see just how many lawmakers and two-year college administrators will be implicated in the scandal and what impact, if any, the investigation will have on the November election.
