2002 Gubernatorial election

Riley did not run for re-election to the House in November 2002 (as a supporter of term limits, he imposed a three-term limit on himself), instead running for Governor of Alabama and defeating the Democratic incumbent, Don Siegelman by the narrowest margin in Alabama history. A voting machine malfunction showed Siegelman winning the election, but the corrected totals of the votes cast in Baldwin County gave Riley the victory. The corrected totals were confirmed as matching the voter sign-in sheets as well as the tapes on the machines recording the actual number of ballots cast. Libertarian candidate John Sophocleus, an economics instructor from Auburn University received enough votes to elicit a mention in the 16 November 2002 New York Times editorial by John J. Miller, in which Miller claimed that, The only reason the governor's race in Alabama was so close this year as to be disputed beyond election night was that the Libertarian candidate, John Sophocleus, attracted 23,000 votes.[2] The Alabama gubernatorial election of 2002 was held as part of Alabamas State General Election on Tuesday November 5, 2002. ... 2002 : January - February - March - April - May - June - July - August - September - October - November - December A timeline of events in the news for November, 2002. ...

Amendment One

In the first year of his administration, Riley proposed "Amendment One", which would have made sweeping changes to the state's tax system. The plan essentially consisted of income tax breaks for the lowest income brackets, offset by numerous tax hikes on consumers and some upper income earners. Riley presented his plan in Christian terms, arguing that the existing system was unfair to the poor. The plan would have resulted in an overall tax increase of $1.2 billion per year.^[2] Many conservatives attacked the plan on the basis of the tax increases included in the plan. While Riley's plan enjoyed liberal support, some liberals criticized the plan for giving tax breaks to large corporations, such as Alabama Power Company. The plan was rejected by voters on September 9, 2003, with 68 percent opposed. This was largely due to massive negative advertising financed by opponents of the proposal, including the Alabama branch of the Christian Coalition. While studies of the plan by economists and accountants showed that a majority of Alabamians would see lower overall taxes under the plan, polls showed that a majority of Alabamians — apparently influenced by opponents' advertising — thought their personal taxes would be higher under the plan.

While Riley's Amendment One was soundly rejected by Alabama voters, it did gain him national recognition. For his leadership in addressing the state’s fiscal crisis, Governor Riley was named the “Public Official of the Year” by Governing magazine^[3] in 2003, and Time magazine hailed him for being one of the nation’s “most courageous politicians.”^[4] Time (whose trademark is capitalized TIME) is a weekly American newsmagazine, similar to Newsweek and U.S. News & World Report. ...

Industrial development

Riley has claimed credit for helping to spur economic development in Alabama. He points to the opening of an aeronautics engineering facility in Mobile by EADS, the parent company of Airbus, which may ripen into an aircraft assembly plant if EADS secures future contracts.^[5] Riley's critics have pointed out that Riley has failed to emulate the success of predecessors, such as Siegelman — during whose administration the Hyundai plant was successfully recruited^[6]^[7] — and Jim Folsom, Jr., in securing automotive manufacturing plants. Specifically, when Kia announced in March 2006 it would build a maunfucturing plant in Georgia,^[8] Riley was criticized by Siegelman,^[9] for Alabama's failure to mount a serious bid for the plant.

Under Riley's administration, unemployment in Alabama fell from 5.3% in January, 2003 when Riley took office to 3.3% in March, 2006.^[10] This rate was the lowest ever recorded since statistics began being tracked in 1976 and was among the nations lowest.^[11] In April 2007 the unemployment rate once again reached 3.3 percent.[3]

Critics have claimed that recent developments are a consequence of national economic recovery and pointed to the loss of thousands of Alabama's historic textile jobs under Riley. Nevertheless, the state under Riley's administration was recognized as "State of the Year" by Southern Business and Development magazine four years in a row and received other awards for competitiveness, job creation and economic development.^[12]

Among other honors, Worldwide Interactive Network named the Alabama Office of Workforce Development the No. 1 U.S. employee development agency and Expansion Management magazine has ranked Alabama Industrial Development Training No. 1 among workforce training programs.^[13] Riley's Alabama Bureau of Tourism & Travel received the National Council of State Tourism Directors' annual Mercury Award recognizing its "Year of Alabama Food" as the nation's top tourism campaign.^[14]

In May 2007, Riley announced that ThyssenKrupp would build a $3.7 billion state-of-the-art steel mill north of Mobile, Alabama, the largest economic announcement in Alabama's history, and largest corporate project in U.S. history. The mill, to be operational in 2010, will employ 29,000 during construction and 2,700 once it is opened.[4] German industrial company ThyssenKrupp AG, with about 200,000 employees, mainly operates in the steel industry, but also in the automotive, industrial construction, and shipbuilding areas, as well as manufacturing lifts and providing other technologies and services. ...

Other issues

In 2005, Governor Riley was criticized by some Mobile County residents after issuing that area of the state a "mandatory" evacuation order in advance of Hurricane Dennis's landfall. Residents felt the issue was better addressed during Hurricane Katrina using a layered approach with sections of the county evacuated instead of the entire county. Hurricane Dennis was the fourth named storm, second hurricane, and first major hurricane of the 2005 Atlantic hurricane season. ...

On August 28, 2005, Governor Riley declared a state of emergency for the approaching Hurricane Katrina. On the same day, he requested president George W. Bush to declare "expedited major disaster declaration" for six counties of south Alabama, which was approved by the evening of August 29. 350 national guardsmen were called on duty as of August 30.^[15] August 28 is the 240th day of the year (241st in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ... 2005 (MMV) was a common year starting on Saturday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

In November 2005, Riley was linked to the Jack Abramoff scandal when his former Congressional press secretary, Michael Scanlon, pleaded guilty to conspiracy in the matter. It further emerged that, as a Congressman, Riley signed a letter on behalf of the U.S. Family Network, opposing expansion of casino gambling in Alabama.^[18] The U.S. Family Network was revealed to be an Abramoff front, funded by the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians, which operated competing casinos.^[19] Riley has denied knowing the source of this funding.

2006 Re-election campaign

In 2003, Alabama state politics gained national attention when the chief justice of the Alabama Supreme Court, Roy Moore, refused to remove a monument of the Ten Commandments from the rotunda of the court building. Riley reportedly supported Moore, but ultimately did not play a large role in the dispute. Riley stated there was nothing he could do to prevent Moore from being removed from office by a judicial ethics panel. Moore challenged Riley in the June 6, 2006 GOP primary, but Riley easily prevailed, garnering about 2/3 of the vote. 2003 (MMIII) was a common year starting on Wednesday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

In May 10, 2005, Riley's approval ratings were 36% approving and 52% disapproving of his job as governor.^[21]. By September 20, 2005, Riley’s approval ratings had increased substantially to 58 percent approving and 38% disapproving.^[22] Analysis of this increase seems to indicate that it may be attributed to the public’s perception of Riley’s response to Hurricane Katrina. By February 14, 2006, Riley's approval ratings had slightly decreased, with 52% approving and 43% disapproving of his job as governor.^[23] As of August, 2006, his approval rating is at 62% with a disapproval rating of 35%.^[24] is the 130th day of the year (131st in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ... 2005 (MMV) was a common year starting on Saturday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

In August 2006, a Birmingham radio talk show publicized Riley's membership in the all-white (the term "all-white" being inclusive of the Native American, Jewish, Hispanic, and Asian members) Grand Lodge of Alabama, a governing body of Freemasons. The issue was explored in a widely-published Associated Press article where Riley and other Grand Lodge members denied that the group discriminates. While Grand Lodge Master, Frank Little said he knows of no blacks among its 32,000+ members statewide, he vowed in the AP article to dissolve any lodge that barred their admission.The Alabama Grand Lodge does have members of Native American, Asian, Jewish, Middle-Eastern, and Hispanic descent. The Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Alabama is made up of predominantly black freemasons and is very active and growing.

The Associated Press, or AP, is an American news agency, the worlds largest such organization. ...

Property tax appraisals became a major campaign issue with Riley's opponents claiming that Riley, acting through his revenue commissioner, ordered that property tax appraisals be made annually, rather than the quadrennial reappraisals that were established practice. Because property values tend to increase over time, making appraisals more frequent has the indirect effect of increasing the taxes paid by property owners. Riley's opponents claimed that by doing so, he raised taxes without a vote of either the Legislature or the people.^[26] Riley claims he is merely following the language of the law, and the advice of his^[27]attorneys. An anniversary is a day that commemorates an event that occurred on the same day of the year some time in the past. ...

Citing Riley's string of successes and an administration without controversy, scandal and indictment, Riley received the endorsement of every daily newspaper in Alabama. The Anniston Star commented that Riley's record is "perhaps the best of any governor in 30 years."[6]

Recently, Riley seems to have given up actually working for his state, and instead asked the people of Alabama to "pray for rain"

National Office Ambitions

As a result of Governor's Riley's strong showing in 2006, his name has been mentioned as a possible contender for national office in the future. A Decatur Daily Poll suggests that the people of Alabama would prefer for him not to run. Observers note that if the Republicans nominate someone from outside of the South to the likes of John McCain, Mitt Romney, or Rudy Giuliani, they may look to a successful Southern governor for the Vice Presidential spot. And many think Riley would be the ideal candidate. However, he has made no comment on whether he would like to run. For McCains grandfather and father, see John S. McCain, Sr. ...
