| Rep. John Knight |
Knight has to make this decision, after the Republican-led Legislature voted to prohibit state legislators from also working as state employees after the 2014 election.
Knight currently serves as the executive vice president and chief operating officer at Alabama State University, where he has worked since 1976.
Knight said he has more to accomplish in the Legislature, especially as it relates to the state’s unfair and regressive tax structure.
Knight hopes he can make progress on those issues even though Democrats are no longer in the majority.
When lawmakers passed the law in December 2010, the Republicans included language that would delay the prohibition until those elected in the November 2014 election begin serving.
