Editorial on Arkansas centennial revenue proposals face skepticism
The Arkansas Centennial Commission plans two funding ideas, a gasoline and driver license tax and a broad sales tax with exemptions. The editorial brands both as dishonest and pledges, arguing extra revenue must fund highways and schools while warning against expanding taxes. It urges readers to avoid these routes and notes public safety and government liability concerns on highways. The piece also calls for old Hempstead county records and mentions a fatal highway death near Hope-Fulton, urging safety and investigation.
