Faubus Signals Possible Tax Increase for State Police
Arkansas Governor Faubus says he is not politically afraid to seek a tax raise to lift the State Police from a financial dilemma. He notes letters favoring service expansion but cites disagreement on how to implement it and suggests waiting to see. He points to two moves revealing the need for funds: a proposed driver license increase and a Senate floor speech, with no clear legislative briefing.
