It's a Facebook link (sorry), but still a worthwhile read about how Arkansas legislators are ignoring their constituents.
"Too bad our elected officials who were invited to address these citizens’ concerns couldn’t be bothered to show up and instead were a couple miles down the road at a $7,000 a plate fundraiser for one of them."

So much going on with this...
"Republicans file bill to ban ballot measures with language above 8th-grade reading level"

Fresh food and the farmers who grow it are "woke", apparently.
Arkansas Foodbank says vital USDA program to buy fresh produce from local farms has been halted

Destroying our local tourism-based economy to own the libs. Nice job local voters.
"Hot Springs National Park scaling back hours at visitor center and museum"

I love that Sarah Huckabee Sanders' team is so inept that their own 'news' page is still tagged as "Governor Asa Hutchinson".

OF COURSE, the rep from Northwest Arkansas, Tyson Chicken's home turf, opposes making chicken products contain less salmonella.
Republicans want to prevent USDA from implementing rule to control Salmonella

The fact that this was even considered shows how incompetent our legislature is. It was a waste of time, most importantly the taxpayers' time.
But maybe them wasting time means other terrible things were delayed.

Look to the states to see what's in store nationally..
"Arkansas Senate majority bans minority party from vice-chair seats on committees"
With the rationale being “The people of Arkansas have sent an overwhelming number of Republicans down here, and they expect them to be in leadership roles", they are clearly saying that *only* those who voted for Republicans are the "people of Arkansas". Everyone else is somehow less than a person.

"I supported shitty policies until they impacted my life, and now I'm realizing the policies are shitty - but I only want exceptions for my circumstances"

This piece is very diplomatic for not stating the obvious. Which is:
Sarah Huckabee Sanders has her own hired gun that she can bring in as a quasi-judge to spike anything that offends her personal worldview - laws be damned.
-
Arkansas' "party of law and order" is losing its mind out of law enforcement serving a warrant on a guy brazenly breaking federal law who decided to open fire on the officers, who fired back and killed him.
When did "cops shouldn't defend themselves" become a rallying cry for the GOP? I guess on January 6, 2021?

Fun fact: Arkansas is the only state where the Prohibition Party has reached full ballot listing for its presidential candidate. Because this state needed to broadcast how it's stuck in the past any harder.

As an Arkansas resident, it's disturbing to hear our governor make a statement essentially saying that it is impossible to feel a sense of responsibility for anyone to whom you have not contributed genetic material.
That would mean that she only represents people in her immediate family, and not the other 5 million Arkansans.
Of course, that isn't all that surprising when one looks at Sarah Huckabee Sanders' record of disdain for others...

What could possibly go wrong?
"Among the many recommendations the committee has drafted are...removing school bus stops from the list of prohibited carry locations."
"Another is to consider allowing those who have been involuntarily committed to a mental institution to regain the right to possess a firearm."
