White Arnold & Dowd P.C. 2025 Third Avenue North, Suite 500 Birmingham, AL 35203 For Immediate Release Contact: J. Mark White February 27, 2015 Phone: 205-323-1888 Statement of J. Mark White for Hubbard Legal Team Today’s filing is bizarre, improper, and non-responsive. It is more argument and political statement than pleading. It is replete with false statements and empty rhetoric. Apparently designed to f urther mislead the public, the fili ng demonstrates a basic lack of knowledge about the state ethics laws and the relevant facts in this matter. By design, Alabama has a citizen legislature, not a full-time legislature. It’s no secret that Mike Hubbar d is a longtime businessm an. It’s not improper f or him to conduct personal business. This filing – just days before the start of the 2015 legislative session – yet again raises questions about political timing and motivations surrounding this matter. But Mike Hubbard won’t be distracted. He is focused on the legislative session and on doing the business of the people of Alabama. We will file appropriate responses with the court and welcome the long-awaited opportunity to expose the strange and curious ways this investigation has been conducted.
