Hubbard trial: executive says he paid Alabama House Speaker to open doors, former ethics commission director testifies

By Staff Report | August 7

Edgenuity President Michael Humphrey testified Tuesday, May 31, that he hired Alabama House Speaker Mike Hubbard, in a $7,500 a month consulting contract, to open doors with legislative leaders in other states as the company tried to sell digital courses to school systems, according to reports. The education curriculum company president said he believed Hubbard could get him meetings with legislative leaders that Humphrey said it would take him a year to get on his own. "My idea was to use Mike to say, 'Get me a meeting with this guy, let me go meet him,'" Humphrey said.
