Section 41-18-1 Text. Article I. Findings and Purposes. (a) The party states find that the
South has a sense of community based on common social, cultural and economic needs and fostered

Section 37-10A-1 Legislative findings. The Legislature makes the following findings and statements
regarding the need for shortline railroad rehabilitation in Alabama: (1) Shortline railroads
are an integral part of Alabama's total transportation network; however, lack of funding for
