Montgomery, Ala. (WDNews) – Alabama Governor Kay Ivey has called for a special meeting of the State Board of Veterans Affairs, urging them to consider the immediate removal of Kent Davis as commissioner. The meeting is set for Tuesday, October 22, at 2 p.m.
In a letter to Davis, Ivey outlined several reasons for the proposed removal, citing a general lack of cooperation, mishandling of the ARPA grant program, filing of frivolous ethics complaints, breach of agreement, manipulation of the board, failure to comply, and a general loss of trust and confidence.
Governor Ivey initially requested Davis to step down in early September, but he declined, announcing plans to resign by the end of 2024. The special meeting will determine whether the board will remove Davis before then.
Sources say this is a developing story, and updates will be provided as they become available.
