Riley's State of the State Address

Don't forget to watch Gov. Bob Riley deliver his State of the State tonight.

Riley is expected to stress the need for perserving and expanding education programs such as the Alabama Reading Initiative, the Alabama Math, Science and Technology Initiative and the ACCESS Distance Learning program.

He will also speak about his desire to expand the state's voluntary pre-K program to 21,000 4-year-olds by 2011.

Coverage of the address starts on Alabama Public Television at 6 p.m.

Riley's speech begins at 6:30 p.m., with a Democratic response coming from Lt. Gov. Jim Folsom Jr. immediately after.

Keep an eye on the Capitol Letters blog for interesting tidbits and observations. We'll also try to get you a copy of Riley's complete text.

I want to know what you think, so don't forget to post your comments.
