Capitol Week in Review
When Arkansas voters go to the polls on Nov. 8, they will determine the fate of four proposed amendments to the state Constitution.
House of Representatives
Our state budget has a direct impact on everything from classrooms to health care. The importance of the budget is why the General Assembly begins reviewing budget needs weeks before the legislative session begins.
Listen Here
It’s the middle of October which means autumn is in full swing. Sort of. When we first researched moving here one thing that came up was that we would actually get all four seasons in the calendar year. Then we get here and are told the ole’ cliched line of, “If you don’t like the weather, wait 15 minutes.” But that’s what we just came from. Southwest Kansas had two seasons, summer and winter. Fall and spring tried to pop in but it really didn’t last long. It snowed in May a couple years in a row and just last year in 2021, Christmas day was 75 degrees.
Answering Arkansans
I hear from Arkansans every day about issues impacting their lives. During meetings around the state and in the nation’s capital, as well as through phone calls, emails and letters to my offices, the people of Arkansas voice their opinions and questions about federal policy to my staff and me regularly. This engagement is necessary to best represent The Natural State and advance the priorities we share. Recent outreach we’ve received represents just some of the issues on your minds.
Letter to the Editor
Please thoughtfully consider voting for the millage requested by the Highland School District administration. A new high school will provide so many needed benefits for students, staff and community patrons. A safer building with room for population growth, an auditorium for the performing arts (theater, band, and choir) and modern facilities for career education (agriculture, medical fields, and business workforce) – all on one level under one roof.

FINANCIAL FOCUS
One of the rewards for working over several decades is the ability to contribute to tax-advantaged retirement accounts, which can help provide needed income for you when you do retire. As the years went by, you may well have accumulated several retirement accounts, such as IRAs and 401(k)s or similar employer-sponsored plans.
