Student debt, Jeff Davis Ave., bad robbery: Down in Alabama

From today’s Down in Alabama podcast:

Some Alabama colleges and universities have announced they would use federal COVID relief money to pay off student debt. In addition to being able to graduate in a better financial situation, the students learn the timeless economics principle of being in the right place at the right time.

On today’s news briefing we’ll have what Miles College is doing about some of its student’s debts, the fine for changing the name of Jeff Davis Ave., and an alleged robber who needed a set of keys more than he needed a gun.
