Telephone lines were open for audience comments. Mr. Barrow talked via telephone from Mobile, Alabama, about a statewide vote on tax increases in Alabama the previous day. The governor proposed a $1.2 billion tax increase designed to cover the state’s budget shortfall and make the tax system more progressive, but voters defeated it by a nearly 2-1 margin.
