I will absolutely be doing more on the People's Patch, but meanwhile People's Patch on Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/PeoplesPatchFarm/] An AAMU Article about People's Patch [https://www.aamu.edu/about/inside-aamu/news/the_peoples_patch.html] and about the Charleston Greenbelt success protected areas [https://greenbelt.charlestoncounty.gov/protected.php] Steady State Herald article [https://steadystate.org/charleston-countys-greenbelt-success/]

Ep. 21, 2026: State House Candidate -- Linderholm!

Page 33 and 34 shows where they added in to HB 399 (underlined parts are what they added in) a provision to move all the revenue from anything purchased in setting up data centers out of the Education Trust Fund and into the General Fund. Sneaky. The bill was passed and signed into law. https://alison.legislature.state.al.us/files/pdf/SearchableInstruments/2026RS/HB399-enr.pdf [https://alison.legislature.state.al.us/files/pdf/SearchableInstruments/2026RS/HB399-enr.pdf] $251 million to the Choose Act in this year's budget: https://alabamareflector.com/2026/03/31/education-trust-fund-heads-to-alabama-senate-as-choose-act-is-set-to-become-universal/ [https://alabamareflector.com/2026/03/31/education-trust-fund-heads-to-alabama-senate-as-choose-act-is-set-to-become-universal/] $210 million for Pre-K, so cancelling Choose would more than double what we have. It's hard to find the figure in here, but search the page for Office of School Readiness for First Class Pre-K: $209.87 million https://aplusala.org/blog/2026/04/02/budget-watch-tracking-the-2027-education-trust-fund-budget/ [https://aplusala.org/blog/2026/04/02/budget-watch-tracking-the-2027-education-trust-fund-budget/] We are currently providing places for 47% of 4th-graders: https://www.al.com/education/2026/04/alabama-maintains-nations-longest-pre-k-quality-streak-in-new-report.html [https://www.al.com/education/2026/04/alabama-maintains-nations-longest-pre-k-quality-streak-in-new-report.html] So the additional Choose money should be enough.
