Special Project: Free tickets for Alabama public officials
Alabama politicians receive free Auburn/Alabama (Iron Bowl) football tickets each year. They shouldn’t. If any free tickets are available they should be given to charities that benefit Alabama children. Obligation will have a year-long project trying to get all 2009 ticket recipients to promise they will never take the tickets again. (Obligation will not benefit in any way from this project. We do not accept donations.)
15 Alabama public officials traded on their office to receive tickets to the BCS National Championship game between Auburn and Oregon. They obtained the tickets at face value. The unethical behavior continues.
