The coalition pushing Gov. Bob Riley’s tax and accountability plan is growing. The Alabama Partnership for Progress announced Tuesday that it had added 10 members: the Children’s Trust Foundation, Region 2020, the Alabama Heart Association, the Alabama Soft Drink Association, the Alabama Residential Childcare Association, the YWCA of Central Alabama, One Montgomery, the Alabama Historic Ironworks Association, the Alabama Poverty Project, and Citizens for Responsible Government. Marty Sullivan, partnership spokeswoman, said more than 55 organizations have joined the coalition and more are expected. “This initiative is uniting people of widely varied interests and concerns in a way Alabama has never seen,” she said.
