Many of the 2,000 Alabama households impacted had already seen the funds credited to their accounts and will have to pay the money back on their next bill.
“Low income Alabama residents” is the key phrase. Considering the demographics of Alabama, the majority of people helped by this program were probably Black.
I’d venture a guess that there are an equal number of poor white people in Alabama. Truth be told, Alabama is a festering shithole of a state, and the only reason you don’t hear more about how bad it is, is because they got Mississippi right there making them look good by comparison.
