Yellowhammer News just heard in the hallway that R.B. Walker has returned to Alabama Power as its director of legislative affairs after serving more than two-years as the director of government relations at the University of Alabama System.

The power company is familiar territory for Walker. He served in a number of capacities there from 2008-2015 and left as the assistant to the executive vice president.

Yellowhammer News thinks this is a good move for Walker but an even better move for Alabama Power. The former SGA president at ‘Bama is a well-known and well-respected player in the Montgomery scene.
