🌱 Roe V. Wade in North Alabama + HMCPL Workforce Development Classes

Good morning, friends! I'm back with your new edition of the Huntsville Daily, fresh off the press. Today's edition includes:

• Roe V. Wade in North Alabama
• Water leak in Madison County
• HMCPL workforce development classes

I feel like we need a disclaimer ahead of today's Daily, so I just want to remind everyone that I strive to make the Huntsville Patch as unbiased as a human can be. After yesterday, it would be really easy to talk about my opinion or that of people on both sides of the fence with the decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. However, I am here to give you the facts, which is the job of a journalist, and I hope that's okay. -Amy

First, today's weather:

An afternoon thunderstorm. High: 91 Low: 72.
